Full Moon Fiber Art sent me this way. I love black cats…my black cat Sam was with me for 16 wonderful years. My dad’s name is Chuck! I’d love to be a winner!
We’ve got a pair – one that won’t move from the sofa as the days get shorter, and Chuck who’s currently wandering the forest and wilding until the first snow hits.
Here kitty, kitty!
lol
I love the print. I have a cat named Wild Thing and this could be her.
I too am a middle aged woman trying to get in touch with my creativity–maybe this print will help speed the process–it is inspiring!
Go for it!
I love the eyes on Chuck. Very mesmerizing………………..uh, oh! I would very much like to welcome Chuck to my home. He would fit in with the other 2-dimensional critters around the place.
Feeling lucky, today! Thanks for sharing your ART with the world!
I enjoy reading your posts and your drawings.
I live the painting of Chuck

How beautiful. What talent you have. Thank you for your generosity of this give away. I have just framed a black cat that I made in Kindergarten (I’m 71 now). I have 2 cats and love to spoil them. Thank you for the opportunity.
That is so neat, Joan. what a treasure to have something like that from Kindergarten.
This drawing depicts everything I love about Autumn! Colorful and cheerful! You have certainly captured the season!
I love this–I truly believe that black cats are GOOD luck! Reminds me of my Nellie found abandoned at Woolley Hollow Park so many years ago and her uniquely musical greetings!

I have your beautiful picture of the sleeping lady hill. . .thanks for your wonderful words and art! vmg
I so love black cats, October and Halloween. Would love to add this Chuck to my home. Will he share his adventures when he returns from walk-about?
No, he expects absolute, unquestioning loyalty and servitude from his humans. He disappears for days and weeks into the woods when the weather is nice, and when it snows he shows up looking for a place by the fire.
