Stella and Sunflowers

 

Stella has had a long history with sunflowers. I painted a picture of her dragging one across the dining room table when she was a kitten. She is now twelve and still tries to smell and bite them when in close proximity to them. I made sure that she didn't do that when she jumped up to smell these ones from the farmers' market in an antique vase. But, I had to get a picture of her next to her favorite flower. And then I'm sure I took her for a walk outside to get some cat grass. She makes sure to eat her greens. Oil on 8" x 8" stretched linen. 25% of the painting's selling price will be used to help local cats in need. SOLD.

Please Don't Eat the Sunflowers

I was arranging these sunflowers on the table for a still life. When I turned my back, Stella sat on them so I would pay attention to her instead. SOLD.
