The MindSculptor

As I look at this commission I finished I realize how much I’ll miss just about the coolest cat I’ve ever met. Jace “the mind-sculptor” was looked after by my housemates when I was staying in Portland this past fall. If I wanted I could frame completing this painting as closing a book on a brief but hard season of my life, a chapter in which I struggled like so many of us have in this age of pandemic. I think instead though I’d rather let any negative imprint on my life perspective fade away and simply remember good bits, particularly Jace, my nap companion and emotional cheerleader in my darker moments. I miss your old-man cat snores already, Jace.

keep doin’ what you’re doin’, you cool cat
