My friends Barbara, Clayton, and their kitty Sox are moving to New Orleans to start a new adventure. I painted Sox as a going-away gift. When we were between homes two years ago, my husband and I stayed with them for a week where I became well-acquainted with Sox, as he slept with us every night!

This watercolor is currently on display at the Humboldt County Fair in Northern California."
