Acrylic on hardboard.
His name is actually Samson but once you get to know him he becomes Grampa. He’s 17 and in failing health but he is the unquestioned leader of his family of 12 cats who who were rescued when their owner died. The love of his life is Peaches, aka Gramma, who is 12 and who cleans his ears and tells him when it’s time to eat or go outside. Grampa is our Wal Mart greeter, welcoming everybody to his building and escorting them wherever they want to go inside. He ambles about very slowly but still manages to always be underfoot no matter where you are. To meet this magnificent old man is all it takes to fall head over heels in love with him. He’s a wise and wonderful old soul.
Grandpa appears some what disheveled despite Grandma’s efforts, but truly the sweetest old guy ever. You captured his personality completely.
Grampa crossed over the Rainbow Bridge last night after a valiant battle with several health issues. He was calm and dignified right to the end and Gramma was by his side to help him on his journey. There is suddenly a huge hole in our lives but it helps to know he is finally pain free and hopefully in a better place where we will get a chance to meet him again somewhere down the road.
