BACKDOOR BREAKFAST


Painting completed in: 1996

As I was sitting warming my engine early one morning before heading out for an Art Show, I watched as Martha came to the back door of our house where her cats gathered, awaiting their breakfast. Although Martha feeds her cats every morning, I had never seen her doing so from the outside and was struck by the picture quality and warmth of the scene. I pulled away to start my journey but the image stuck in my mind and I felt blessed to have someone so kind and caring to share my life with!
