Kelly On a Rainy Day

Kelly on a rainy day.

Many years ago Kelly lived with a stray and feral colony of cats in a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, and I sometimes wonder if that’s what she ponders when she looks out the window as she does here. She seems to have carried a lot of trauma with her, and while she loves to look outside and sit by open doors and windows, she has absolutely no interest at all in going out there. Not that she needs to worry about that. I love to let my rescues know they are inside now. Someday I’ll have to get her to tell her story.

    Just the intent look she does seem to have as she’s looking outside. One “would” indeed wonder just what her thoughts would be. Amazing shot!

    • Dianda, they both have tortoiseshell-patterned fur, and that’s where the similarity ends! Cookie is short and round, and Kelly is long and slender.

    • Thank you, Ingrid! It was nearly a quick little painting, but when Kelly notices I’m looking at her she runs over for some affection, so I only managed a photo. Think I’ll still paint her like this, my contemplative little Kelly.
