Suddenly, a Cat
6x6" oil on Gessobord
Have you ever had a bad day when everything seemed overwhelming?
I was in such a mood last summer.
I had a lot on my mind. I felt stressed out and frustrated because some of my paintings were not coming out the way I expected.
What do you do when you feel down?
I find it helpful to go for a walk. I wandered into my neighborhood community garden:
I saw plants everywhere, lush and full of life:
I imagined how each plant strived to grow and reach for the light, every day, at its own pace, with strength and perseverance.
Plants surprise us by growing in less-than-ideal conditions.
I felt comforted and less alone, knowing that the plants share my struggle to grow.
Suddenly, a cat appeared!
I was so excited because I LOVE CATS!
The cat stopped and looked at me for 30 seconds.
It was a sign from Mother Nature, to cheer me up!
It was a magical, life-transforming moment of serenity and comfort. I went home feeling renewed hope and motivation to keep painting.
