In Memoriam

I was cleaning up my Flickr account, and rediscovered this image below. It's a painting I did in July of '07, after my grandmother's cat, Jasper, died. It was a sad summer, especially since my grandmother is getting older, she had a bit of a health crisis, and she took her cat's passing so hard. While at her house I found a box of wedding chocolates and promptly ate all of them, but then held onto the box for a while, and set up this painting for Jasper. I was in the middle of an obsession with bows and ribbons, and was starting to explore woodgrains (which I'd like to try out with embroidery sometime soon). I like this painting a lot, but I'm not sure where it is. I think my dad stole it. Oh well, that's art for you.
