“How To Hold A Cat” by #VanessaStockard really spoke to me at the local art fair, after darling kitty’s very necessary annual bath this morning. (As I write we are out in the evening garden hunting foxes, and are best friends again.) #Caturday #UsingClawsIsASignOfAffection

🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ Black Cat Season 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Australian artist Vanessa Stockard paints whimsical portrayals of her muse cats - Kevin, a ball of fut, who is often featured in tributes to famous works of art - and Satan, a black persian almost always seen ruling over an elegant old chair …

“I’ve always had a thing for cats. I love and hate them for different reasons and I find them endlessly entertaining. I grew up with a black Manx cat who was, shall we say, ‘pretty scratchy’ and, well, I guess she stuck with me. She lived a long life and I loved her regardless … Obviously, the mangey black Persian I dubbed ‘Satan’ started a journey several years ago, and eventually, I saw an old sock in the studio and thought… That’s a kitten! It wasn’t. But that wasn’t important. That’s a kitten and its name is Kevin. Logical.”
