"One and a half year old "Boo Boo" was rescued from the city pound along with his twin brother Yogi. They were both so adorable we could not decide one over the other, so both brothers came home to live with us! Boo Boo's favorite thing to do is play in the water once we turn on the kitchen/bathroom taps! He'll rush to the water the minute he hears the taps turn on! Silly Kitty!" -Tammi Palmarchuk
I received a photo from my friend Tammi Palmarchuk. She lives in Canada and is a fellow collector/friend/and real horse nut. :) We chatted by email lots of times and when I lost my own kitty, "Squishy", (which was totally my fault because I let him out one night, even though he is suppose to be an indoor kitty only). Tammi was such a comfort to me. She told me about her own losses with kitties that she had had and really helped me to not beat myself up too much.
The most amazing part of this story, (to me), is that Squishy came back! Actually one month exactly to the day later!! Unbeknownst to me, my husband had put him on our "prayer chain" at our church, which I didn't even consider because I thought, " there are much more pressing needs, and after all it was my fault that he was lost", (or in my mind had died).
Well... I can only be thankful every day for my husband's faithfulness and God's graciousness, because Squishy did indeed find his way home! He was very emaciated and would not have lasted more then another few days, if that. Needless to say there was MUCH rejoicing around our household! And I had the added thrill of being able to email Tammi and tell her the news! :) Along with my other friends who had shared in this heartbreak and then triumph with me.
All of this said, when I saw this photo of Tammi's "Boo Boo" kitty, I just HAD to paint him! I hope that he inspires you much as he did me! If there were ever a picture of "Peace" I think this is it!
"Boo Boo" will be offered as a limited edition "Giclee" print, of 50 pieces. The size of the print is 12" x 14". Each canvas will come stretched and mounted onto a wood frame. All painting was done in acrylic's completely free hand from start to finish, (no photo enhancement, projectors used, etc.), by Caroline Boydston.
