Mewsette has a quiet nap on my bed in the afternoon.

The maple outside the window that casts green tones on my bed all summer now casts shades of yellow as the leaves begin to turn on a sunny autumn afternoon; the bedspread is actually solid white. Some other cats had their way with the covers, leaving a rumpled mess that added character to the simple scene.

I don’t usually go for a scene this complicated on a weekday afternoon, but I just couldn’t let it go. It’s the same bed and reminds me of “Afternoon Nap”, and I’m oh, so glad I took the time to capture that one.

Hope everyone had as great a day as Mewsette!

I choose contents for each monthly box to give you the most variety in each item: style, medium, size, subject—even a particular feline subject, color or coat pattern, or a particular anniversary with one of my feline family—as well as season, holiday, color palette and the message it sends in the matted print, unmatted print, sympathy card, art card, photo card, non-feline greeting card, note cards and gift item. You’ll see a good sample of not only my work but also the beauty and inspiration of felines so that, whether you keep the contents for yourself or give them as gifts or donations, you’ll find something that fits nearly every occasion, at $25.00 per Sampler Box. Read more about them, and a few reviews.
