Now that Charlie has passed, I'd like to share with you the meaning of my Kaaterskill Falls painting.
Some of you might remember that last summer, Charlie disappeared for 2 nights.
He was an indoor cat, but always trying to get out..and was successful for once.
Since he was so naive and gentle, and also fragile due to his kidney failure and advanced age,
I thought for sure that he must have been killed by a coyote or fisher, when I couldn't find him after 2 nights.
To ease my mind, I made up a story that he had hiked to Kaaterskill Falls, one of my favorite spots in the Catskill Mountains.
Fortunately he returned, but I decided to create a painting from this story that would memorialize Charlie's life,
picturing him in a cat's paradise, complete with the rainbow at the top of the falls.
I worked on this painting since then (over a year!), and as he became more frail, the painting became more complete.
Finally finished the day before he passed...to help lead him to the Rainbow Bridge.
Sweet travels, Charlie; I'll see you at the Falls.
