In 2020, my brother Mark fell in love with a black and white rescue cat. When they met, she was sitting in a cage at the pet store waiting for her forever home. When several kittens were brought out to play, he knew after he saw her little sweet face and pink nose, he was hooked. He brought his new kitten home and named her Maggie. As he found out, little Maggie gets into everything, including my painting.

“The World Recedes” when we read a letter from someone of great import to us. We have no idea what the letter contains. That is up to you viewer.

I enjoyed creating this oil painting with a European flavor.
