Kitty Pool

A Charming Plein Air Moment in Oil

Sometimes the best subjects choose themselves! While painting the pool area at Rancho Santa Cruz, a curious cat kept walking to the edge to admire his own reflection—and completely stole the show. This delightful original oil painting captures that whimsical moment with warmth and humor.
