This
simple painting was produced with but one intent, to help heal a wounded
soul.
"Pepper" was the beloved pet of my Mother and Father in-law.
A true companion
of many years, this feline was an integral and irreplaceable part of
their family,
but sadly, passed away a few years ago after a long life.
It was a crushing loss for them, particularly my Father in-law.
One Christmas, snap shots in hand, as if a child asking for a few extra
minutes to
play, he calmly asked me, at my leisure, if I could paint his beloved
"Pepper".
A gracious request that I could not refuse. Studying several photos
closely,
I was able to capture the personality and "attitude" of this
apartment dwelling cat that so enriched their lives.
With all my love, the following Christmas, I presented......."Pepper
in the Garden"
