Season of the Cat

The drifters are coming. The scraggly fighters, the lost domestics, the hormonal escapees. Stray cats are nibbling the kibble as they pass through this area of abandoned barns; some fight and leave, some rub ankles and stay. 

Over the years we've adopted the cats that are willing. I think we have eight cats now -- or is it nine. 

So, this month as I worked on understanding color -- as it recedes and comes forward -- I looked to the cats. Cats are truly the best models ever.

And just for the fun of it, a bike painting, too.
