A Rascal

 6x6                                         Ninko                             acrylic 

This is a new adventure for me - painting animals.  A few days ago I posted a small painting of our current kitty, Mollie..so then I wanted to paint Ninko   Ninko was a character -a bit feisty with most, not great with my grandkids though they were sweet o her.  But she was a buddy to me. Definitely did things on her own terms, like curl up near you on but never on your lap--tres gauche!  She loved to play and was a stealth hunter.  Like most hunters she wanted to show off her prize... at the sliding door (mice-yuk!).  I miss the rascal.
