Graceful Kitty

Graceful

The photo I just posted brought this one to mind from January 2011.

There is nothing so graceful as a feline bath, especially in morning sun. This simple curve has long been one of my favorite postures, in fact, I did a stylized sculpture of my black cat in college in this bathing posture. Someday I’ll photograph that sculpture and post it (I actually did in summer 2011);  it’s always interesting for me to see the images and motifs that have inspired me long before I began to create artwork.

    Bernadette, this photo is so beautiful. And it’s so clear — it makes me feel like I’m sitting right next to the bathing kitty. Something about the back of the head and the shoulders, the way the tip of each hair has a highlight. And you’re so right — the simple curve is beautiful. Beauty is one of the many gifts cats bring to our lives. Thank you once more for sharing your kitties and their gifts with us.

    • Susan, they take my breath away. I’m glad you liked this photo–sometimes they turn out better than I expect.
