My Possum




In March when we lost Tara, and then Joe, I also had to put my 13 year old cat to sleep - during the first day of the Russell Show no less. What a month. I decided to paint a tribute to my special Possum, as a final farewell. It's been good for me to do so. I really miss him. I don't think the painting is finished yet. There's something wrong about the eyes and I may want to push the contrasts. I'm waiting for the paint to dry though, so I'll post it anyway. This painting is 12 x 16 and will not be for sale.
