I’ve now gifted half a dozen of my paintings — when folks say they like them (see below). It’s funny, but none of them — except the lady’s portrait — is a favorite. And some of what to me is my better work is met with a shrug, lol.

My mom has commissioned me to paint a portrait of her cat Princi, who is getting on in years. I need to paint some more animals first, I think, before tackling that, but I’d like to give it to her for Christmas.

And this is Princi.
