Cali's Stare
Size: 6×6 inches
Medium: Acrylic
Support: Ampersand Gessobord
This is Cali. She has such an intense stare. When we got Cali 14 years ago, she was very pregnant. A few days later, she gave birth to four kittens. My husband and I decided to find homes for three and keep one with Cali because we read that it was very traumatic for a mother to be separated from all of her babies. We totally agree; there is no question about that.
The one we kept is Hunter. Yes, the one in the painting titled “My Precious Hunter.”
Cali's Stare belongs to the following groups:
Acrylic Painting, Animal Kingdom, Domestic and Pedigree Cats, Fine Arts, For the Love of Cats , 1 image a day , Lifeline, Realist Traditional Art and Wildlife and Pet Paintings Available for sale asGreeting Cards and Matted Prints

Dave, thank you so much! Cali must be 15 years or older; that is equivalent to about 90 in human age. She still looks fabulous!!

Gorgeous painting of a beautiful cat. This painting caught my attention because Cali looks so similar to my 12 year old kitty Georgia. I know, there are a million calico cats out there, but the expression is so like hers. You are quite talented.
