Weekly Art Challenge- Posie the Cat

"Posie" 9x12 Pastel

Cats are such elegant animals. Growing up on a farm, I remember being fascinated by the barn cats that would come to the back door.  They were wild and not easy to catch for a little girl, but I  spent many hours trying to find them in the barn and barnyard.  Ever so rarely I would catch one, but I never tamed one enough to call it a pet.  So began my life long love of cats. Once my husband and I married we adopted a cat and have had "just one" in our home ever since.  I must admit if I didn't have allergies I think I would be a cat wrangler and have a herd running around the old home place!  LOL     

When my weekly art challenge friend, Lisa, posted "Posie" I couldn't ignore painting her portrait.  Not knowing the cat's personality was difficult but in my mind I pictured a spunky little diva that rules in her home!  I'm sure Posie is happy, well fed and totally loved.  All kitties should be so lucky!!!
