What a cat Chris was, almost like a human being! An intelligent, gentle, courageous companion with a curious, sad gaze.
Just before I finished painting Reflection, I found out that Chris had terminal cancer and that he had hidden his pain for three months. Cats are too good at hiding. And the day after the diagnosis Chris passed away.
