Recent Paintings and Some Old Family Photos

On November 18, I finally found a foster for Famke’s kittens. This was a great blessing for them, I know, but it was hard for me to say goodbye. The yard is so quiet and still now, without them here. Famke’s gone too. My mom, who is more giving than the Giving Tree, adopted her!

In the days since everybody left, I’ve tried to stay really busy. In my free time after work, I finished a couple new paintings and restored a couple of old family photos. The photos are of my paternal grandparents, a portrait of Granny at age 18 and one of my grandfather in his 40s.
