"Graceful Repose"


















6 X 6 oil on masonite

This is my sweet little Lynx Point Siamese, Smoki. Some of
you may recognize her from my very first post, "Zen".
She will be 14 this spring but still looks like
a lithe teenager.
She was a rescued kitten
and her growth was stunted from
not having a proper diet
in her formative months. She was
so wild and frightened when I brought her home that she lived
in one of my kitchen cabinets, sticking her little head out just
enough to lick some food from my finger. She hid in there
for at least 2 months before she trusted us enough to venture
out into the rest of the house.

She is my "problem cat". Very
temperamental and sincerely
wishes every day that the other two cats
would disappear
so she could soak up all the attention. This painting
shows
her in her favorite spot...right smack in the middle of
my bed.
She has claimed my room as her property and defends
it with
every ounce of her 9.5 lbs.
Although she looks peaceful, the
claws
are out and ready. Hisssssssss!
