CAYSART

This is a portrait of my cat, Dusty, walking in the snow. Just the look on her face made me think of a predator, which she definitely is. She presents us with her prey, frequently partially eaten. I prefer that she eats these creatures outside, but I'm glad she's such a great rat catcher. Not so happy about her hunting the little song birds... This gentleman's portrait was a commission that was a gift for him. He insisted that the hat was not a skunk skin, but a polecat skin since there were two white stripes rather than just one. Well, since he's one of the old timers here on the peninsula, and I'm just a city girl originally, I decided to believe him. So that's why the title of the piece is "Polecat Hat" rather than "Skunk Skin Cap"...
