The sources of an artist’s inspiration are many – the seasons, a vision, a memory, a mood.

Last month after the sudden loss of big brother Seth, we were feeling low. Many, if not all of you, sent us hugs and purrs and good thoughts toward his memory. We read and cherished every single word. Thank you again.
Cherry City Kitties must have felt our lingering deep gloomy vibe despite all the good wishes and sent us a bottle of flower essences from Green Hope Farm specifically formulated as part of their Animal Wellness Collection for helping with feelings of grief and loss. CCK recently wrote up a wonderful post entitled help during especially sad times. We hope you find it as informative and helpful as we did.
In return for such kindness, and with Quint’s consent, we offered a very special Spring 2013 canvas painted just for them; for their friendship, concern and caring. The photo above is Quint’s art on display at the desk of Cherry City Kitties. Below are photos of Quint at work on this limited edition piece.
Thank you, Carolyn, Harry, Dexter and Tipp. A painted-paw toast to healed hearts and a wonderful friendship!

To Quint and all the Cole haus residents,
I was so honored to recieve such a special piece of artwork. I get to look at it everyday at work and it makes me smile. I am so glad that the essences helped you out during such a tough time, and am glad to call you all our friends. Purrs all around!
Mom Carolyn, Harry, Dexter and Tipp… and Dad Mark
Thank you for your photo of where you have it hanging. That board looks so peaceful and cheery! Purrs…
Mee loves watching Quint in his painting process! That is just too cool!

Isn’t it wonderful how we fur people and our humans can connect with others all over the world? Mom said she cried when Seth went over the Rainbow Bridge and she never met him. She said she hoped that he connected with her old kitty, Mischief. Quint, that is quite the masterpiece that you made. We are totally in cat awe of you.
Isn’t that a beautiful friendship?
Lovely to be able to read this, thanks for sharing!

Quint is a master painter. What a wonderful gift for such support….. it is so hard to let us pets go for you people – but remember that Seth is happy and healthy and watching over all of you.
I don’t think any post on any blog has touched us so deeply and thoroughly before … thank you.
Such a pawsome talent. Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly

That was very kind of the Cherry City Kitties to send you the gift to help through the sadness. It was a lovely idea to send them a painting by Quint painted especially for them.
Quint you are a true artist!
That is so beautiful!

Perfection Quint! Your friends sound awesome as well, I’m sure they love their special painting.
Quint, I love you so much. I have one of your paintings and mom and I love it.
Does your camera for your live cam work that you have posted? Mommy and I never see but a black screen when we look at it.
Thank you, Katie! My dad sent you an email to try to help with you seeing our live camera. Thanks for asking about it! Purrs….
