This painting is one of the quick studies that I did. It came about
because I was photographing fruit and reflections of color for a project
for my art students at the time. Nikki just came over and sat down in
the middle of everything. This study was from 2004.

In 2000 I moved to an apartment in a small town in the horse country of Virginia. It was a beautiful big apartment. I didn't have a lot of furniture, just a few pieces that people had given me. I was photographing my apartment one day and suddenly noticed that Nikki was very carefully walking into each shot and posing.
When I suddenly got a clue I started taking his photo. He really liked it. And being part of the creative process, I think helped him adjust from being a cat that had the fields, pastures, hedgerows and fence-lines of rural life to living in town and not being allowed to go out side. It wasn't long until Nikki was posing for me when I painted.
