I wish I knew the maker of these striking

with a couple of splits from shrinkage/expansion on the back side

He's definitely old--the wood has split a bit

Black and White Cat in Tall Grass, Oil on Board Painting, Framed curling I wish I knew theI never find a cat painting that's not outrageously expensive, so was very pleased and surprised to scoop this one at Brimfield, and I especially like this particular cat for not being of the sort that looks like an easy cuddle! Rather, he (I think) looks very much of the elusive, independent sort, roaming the grounds of what I imagine is a farm (looks maybe like the side of a barn?) as he pleases. And with a really good face! Love that tall honey
