My old friend and traveler Fran Kras sent me this photo to paint for a good cause. This is how it was made. Take a look.

Oil painting by James Swanson Fran's Cats 9"x12" Linen panel
Inspired by Fran Kras's photo of her 2 cats. This painting is going up for auction for a cat shelter in LaGrange Park IL called Cat Nap from the Heart. If you are interested in this painting contact them and maybe you can win it. If you need a great copy writer visit Fran's website she's as good as they get!

Details from painting

Thanks Fran again for the photo inspiration hopefully we can feed some cats.
