The Art for Life studio used to have a lot more people in it. Some lost their eyesight to the point where they could no longer paint. Some moved on—to better things or worse. And some have died.
Richard Cornell was very fond of cats. But most of the time they appeared at the very bottom of a vertical page. These are two of my variations on his theme. Maybe the cat way down at the bottom of the picture really is hiding from something. Or maybe it’s lurking there for reasons of its own, waiting to pounce—or flee.
