Kitty with Butterfly Wallpaper
20×20 Oil on Canvas
Black Wood Floater Frame
Why so many cats and butterflies? I always liked cats, but didn’t really plan to own one. Until our son adopted a cat while in college and somehow he now lives with us. It is fun to have the cat around now that our son lives far away. Everyday he makes us smile, and often annoys us, and we think of Evan. Butterflies have a special meaning for me. When my mom was dying she asked me what I thought really happened when you die. She knew what her faith told her, but she was still wondering. I told her about a woman who had a near death experience and described it as a butterfly bursting out of its chrysalis and flying away. She liked that idea and together we spent her last few months buying pj’s and many other things with butterflies on them. A few minutes after she passed away, I went outside to call her sister and a butterfly landed on my toe. I was sitting beside the flowerbed that attracted many butterflies, so it may have been a coincidence, but I like to think that it was mom just letting me know she was ok. She and our son had a special bond. She was his biggest fan and he looked up to her for support and unconditional love. It makes me happy to paint two of my favorite humans together.
