Bette Loves Everyone

I painted this in 2012. I pulled it up today noticing I didn't have many keywords for it, or a description, so it wasn't getting found. I still love this piece. It was spontaneous, driven by a giant affection I developed for a cat named Bette Davis and her two kittens, Theo and Minnow. All three cats are gone now, but the memories stay with me. MInnow had a liver disorder. Brother Theo developed diabetes. Mom Bette disappeared and I suspect foul play. Par for the course in Cyprus where cats are poisoned and used for target practice by the hunters.



But this is a happy painting, and happy my memories of Mother Bette and all her friends remain. I love the stained glass mosaic effect this painting creates at a distance. I love the multi-colors. But mostly I love that it is my memory of time well spent.
