    Today the Pacific Northwest sun has been dancing in and out around the clouds like a dancer at a folk music festival.  Or like a cat singing for supper. A Siamese cat and a black & white alley cat are on my work table…

    It’s finally begun raining regularly here in the Pacific Northwest and I love it. Today the rainy cool air made me think of contentment and fur. Here’s artwork of Persian cat that is drying on my worktable. The cat’s name is “Harold”.

    Around the edges of writing a speech and getting ready for several major art-events I’ve begun to do some cat artworks. I’ll still be doing my dog art – don’t worry – I’m just adding cats to the mix.  In 2018 I’m hoping to do a book of cats – much like my currently available book “Dogs…
