Durer's Cat This is Gus Gus. I first met Gus Gus back in New Orleans. I had moved back there after Katrina, and I was having a bit of a rough time of it. One day, as I was hanging around in my apartment , I could have sworn that I heard a faint, insistent mewing coming from my porch. Gus Gus was there, staring at me through the glass of my French door and talking up a storm. I’m allergic to cats, but Gus Gus won me over with his dreamsicle good looks and his charming manner. I let him in and he hung around for a bit, but then he wanted to leave and I reluctantly let him go. He was back the next day, this time pawing at the glass panes and again, mewing up a storm. This went on almost daily. I found out that Gus Gus lived with a bunch of cats-including 2 brothers- just about a block away from me. He was well taken care of, but still insisted on coming to visit . Sometimes he would bring one of his brothers with him. One time he brought a lady friend. I was always glad to see him. I looked forward to his visits and found that his presence cheered me up-a lot.Gus Gus went over the rainbow bridge years ago. I like to think that wherever he is, there are no constraints on time or space, leaving him free to drop in whenever he wants on whomever he wants . I picture him soothing Einstein, or amusing the Gershwins, or, in this case, inspiring one of my favorite artists, Albrecht Durer, by being the excellent, cheering company that he was when I knew him. SOLD
Cock of the Walk SOLD
Shy Shoebill is available
African Wild Dog SOLD this little fellow is descended from wolves-just like the dogs we love-but he cannot interbreed with dogs or with wolves and he cannot be tamed. I painted him for the Ho’olaule’a group show at Cactus Gallery L.A. , which was all about endangered critters-like our friend here. Prints are available.
Mystic Raven SOLD Odin’s friend. He sees all. Prints are available.
Fishes for Puffin SOLD I saw a show about puffins. They fly far distances to get fish to take back to their nests and half the time, seagulls steal their fish away-in mid flight! Prints are available.
