Mr Chomp Resting
8x6in oil on canvas panel $125. SOLD
I have been concerned about the animals lost
and hurt during Megastorm Sandy
and will donate the proceeds
of this painting to an animal shelter in
New York or New Jersey.
I have painted Mr Chomp before.
He is a very special rescued cat with
a wonderful disposition and adores his owners
...most likely because he is so grateful to them.
I have no doubt he knows exactly
how he almost was killed, and then saved.
Animals are very special and bring a wonderful
element into our lives.
I love Mr. chomp:)
ReplyDeleteI will let him know! Thanks.
DeleteMr. Chomp is having some serious down time right now...and his painter painted him well. We have a cat named Bean. He would have died a couple of years ago had we not forced tuna juice down him for a week. He used to be a rather grumpy cat, he is lovey dovey now. We think he is grateful for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the story of Bean. Nice we agree. Thanks Lisa.
DeleteLove your new painting.
i love mr. chomp too!
ReplyDeleteHow nice - he has a fan club!
Deleteand I love your "Scribbled Ballerina"
ReplyDeleteThanks Myra.
This cat looks like a lot for a cat that came to the door of my mother's house, to ask for something to eat. He waited his turn patiently and then ran away almost immediately. Days after days...When my mother passed away, the cat did not show up anymore. I and my husband tried for days calling him ... but nothing. That you brought me back to the memory, the resting of Chomp:it seems the patient cat waiting for my mother at the door.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful story. Thanks so much for sharing it with me, Rita.
Deletehave a great painting day.
Interesting to see how you adapt your technique to capture the cat, well done.
ReplyDeleteAdapt or lose. It is not always easy. Thanks for the comment Roger.
DeleteMr. Chomp is adorable. Love that rich looking rug he is sitting on too. I love what you are doing with the proceeds from the past couple of paintings, too. Julie, you rock!
ReplyDeleteOh boy! nice complement. Thanks.
DeleteAnimals really are a joy aren't they? Grateful and loving companions. Mr. Chomp looks very happy and contented:)
ReplyDeleteHe really is very contented. I love my dog. Hubby allergic to cat dander. My daughter has cats - all rescued.
DeleteMr Chomp looks mighty dignified, Julie! I too, am a lover of animals. You have picked a great cause. Is this on the Hurricane Relief auction at DPW?
ReplyDeleteNo - the auction is for humans and I have not seen anything to raise money for the animals anywhere and you know how bad it must have been for them.
DeleteGood for you, Julie. Mt Chomp should raise a few 'bob' for a very good cause.
ReplyDeleteOur last two dogs were rescue dogs - they were at deaths door when we got them. They lived with us for 15 years before they died - within two weeks of each other... best dogs the world ever saw!!!
Glad you shared that heartwarming story, John
DeleteNice Mr Chomp!
ReplyDeleteNice of you too, Sylvane. I love your boxer. What a great face!
DeleteIndeed they do, Julie. Mr. Chomp looks so peaceful and content. Bless you for your gift to the relief efforts.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. Glad you like Mr.Chomp.
DeleteHello Julie:) I'm doing the same thing. My donation is going to "the little shelter", a shelter in NY. Lovely post from John Simlett. I love that so much!
ReplyDeleteI hope mr. Chomp, and all the other paintings, collect a lot of money! I love the painting Julie!
Good to hear you are donating and thanks for the heads-up on the name of the shelter.
DeleteI loved Johns post too. Heartwarming
Mr. Chomp is wonderful. He does look so satisfied too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you think so, Stephanie.
DeleteI like your eggplants
You paint with such courage—there's a mess of paint there yet you organize it all to work wonderfully! Love both these cat paintings; no trace of cuteness of sentimentality.
