This was one of the few from the best photo session. It was this day that the background image was referenced. He posed as a young man for the very first painting which SOLD to a friend on an internet art site THAT DAY....
Finally I had mastered that look of my impending demise!
This series even got me an article in Pastel Journal about my pet paintings. What didn't get published was a diagram of how the reflections in the room showed in his eyes.
My previous cats had been lucky to top out at 8 pounds. This guy was as big as a dog. I had a brief roommate with two miniature pups. He could not fit their harnesses. He was a great meatloaf of a cat.
A candid from those days:
I would use him as a model but he was never able to sit still. This is another view of his wonderful round jowls.
and the ever so flattering pose we ended up with from the session for the "Holiday Number"
You could fantasize he was a "Sumo" cat, but really, he was just wide.
And grumpy.
I do believe his demanding attitude was part of his charm in those days.
