Every couple of years or so, I draw our cats' portraits. This is Java Bean at age 14. He has a a language all his own and communicates his needs and wants expressively, articulately, and forcefully! He typically sits like this, totally relaxed with tongue extended. He grooms both Michael and me incessantly, proving he is "One-of-Us" (his Siamese sister is not, in his opinion).

To see other portraits of Java, see "Rite of Passage" located in the LITHOGRAPH CATALOG - PAGE 1 and "THREE ON A TREE" in the GICLEE CATALOG - PAGE 1
