SOLD • private collection, Poway, California

When I walked into my office and saw Bailey lying there beside my keyboard, making herself at home on the mouse pad, I immediately abandoned my plan to work on another landscape and started this one instead. I had to, because the title for it had flashed across my mind as soon as I saw her. It was just too perfect! (Or should I say purr-fect?)

    Bailey is one of my favorite subjects ... this is the 4th painting I've done of her.
