Yes, unfortunately, the cat is sold. Very honored that you like it so much to buy it. It took me years to realize how crazy wonderful for a “stranger” to want anything I have made. When a painting gets sold at exhibition, it’s a high holding me over until the next one. I seldom get discouraged—if it’s one person out of a thousand who likes my work enough to trade money for it, then that is one million people on earth who would appreciate my paintings (if all 8 billion had a chance to see them:)
I can live with that ratio!
