This is 40 Midnight, my first cat way back around 2009. He will always have a big spot of real estate in my heart and memory. He's a big reason for why I make pet portraits, so people can keep their pets close even after they pass away. He was the best little loaf. 🖤

These guys like to wander pretty far out on my client's property. They get called back home by vibrating collars because the cutie on the left is deaf. His name's Strider (yes like Aragorn ♡).

Hey 🧡 This is a #painting of an old friend resting by a creek in the woods. We stopped at this spot after finding a patch of tiny Chanterelle #mushrooms , glowing orange and popping up through the bright green moss.
