  • Day 22 – Black Cat in a box

    As popular as the cat in a box theme is, I thought I’d try again. This time a svelte little black cat has climbed into the box. And she thinks no one can see her! This painting measures 6″ X 6″ and it is an original hand painted watercolor. It is sold. All money that…
