The inspiration behind this pet painting of Smokey and Wispy starts almost a decade ago. In my hometown, before moving to Pennsylvania, I volunteered at a local cat shelter - the Valley Cat Haven. A few months before moving, I met two fluff balls: Fiddlehead and his sister, Daffodil.

​

These two were always cuddling up to one another, and I adopted them to keep them together. Now, they live with my sister and I, and Fiddlehead became Smokey while Daffodil became Wispy. In my painting, I referenced one of their naps and added details referencing the plants of their namesakes. The other details are reminiscent of wisps of smoke, and tendrils of vines.

​

It's always wonderful to hear the stories behind our pets! I'm looking forward to learning more about your pets, too. Tell me what their favorite pastimes are, and how you came to care for them. We can discuss ways to depict their personality and what details you notice throughout the time you spend with your pets. If you have a favorite decorative motif or border style (Celtic, PA Dutch, Sicilian Tile, Rosemaling, Embroidery...) we can include that, too.
