"City Cat"

This cat immediately made me smile! It is titled "City Cat", and the artist is Helen Marcus. If you look closely, you can see scenes from New York City...the Empire State building, etc. I hope it shows up in the photos..but it exudes energy! It is bright and edgy, full of movement and life. I loved it!





Enjoy,

Cats, Cats, and More Cats!

A couple of days ago I attended the 2006 Pawsing for Art Artist and Sponsor Reception. My painted cat sculpture, Little Cat's Four Season Fantasy, was on display along with 17 other wonderful, colorful cats! I thought it would be fun to show the pictures Jim took...maybe one cat a day??

Here is the first cat..the title is "CATina's Secret Garden". The artist is Jan Whetstone. Nestled among the delicate flowers are little cat faces. Oh, I wish you could see it in person...it's lovely!




Enjoy,

"Sunset Glory Over Crater Lake"

Crater Lake, Oregon is one of Jim's favorite places to photograph...whether it be summer, fall, winter or spring. He captured this gorgeous sunset behind Wizard Island one August evening. It is sooo peaceful. I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as he did taking it!

"Good Night, Medford"

Now that my cat statue is finished, I want to share some of my favorite photos that my honey, Jim has taken. (I didn't forget about you, Jim!)

He loves taking photos of sunrises and sunsets, for the obvious reason: the gorgeous colors! This one is overlooking Medford, Oregon, at sunset, just after dark, where he captured the twinkling lights of the town.



If you'd like to see more of his photography, just click on Our Yessy Gallery, under Favorite Links in the right column. :-)
