This painting of my studio kitty will be published in the Santa Maria Times this week. The Santa Maria Valley Humane Society is having a contest to see which cat and which dog will get the most $1 votes. “Tiny”, aka as Wednesday, could be on the Pinot Noir label for Presqu’ile Winery! If you love animals, please vote for “Tiny” – it’s a great cause! https://www.gogophotocontest.com/rescuewinelabelcontest/entries/173909 Here’s her story:

Let me paint you a picture of my studio kitty…my girlfriend adopted a rescue cat and called me. “You have to see her sister!” November 4, 2013, we took one look at her and she was purrfect except for her name, “Wednesday”. My folks had a tuxedo cat 50 years ago. My Mom started filling out the paperwork immediately. I said, “Are you sure?” She replied, “Yes, that’s Tiny!” We brought her home to my Dad and they bonded instantly. My Dad has since passed but we treasure Tiny everyday.
