Many years ago I saw a picture of a cat looking forlorn, glum,
and grumpy so I decided to put him in a beautiful setting of roses and oranges
with a silhouette of Mt.
Tamalpais in the
background to see if it would cheer him up.
It didn’t. So for years now he
has been sitting on his perch atop an old stone fence being “Grumpy In Paradise”. Over the years I have come to realize that
the painting is (at times) a self-portrait.
I sometimes feel grumpy in paradise.
It is hard to believe that one can be surrounded by beauty and still
feel solemn. Nevertheless, Grumpy (who
hangs out on my dining room wall) never fails to make me smile when I look at
him. Two grumpy souls enjoying life in
paradise.
Grumpy is now on a tote bag offered through CafePress so you
can take him with you when you venture forth in this beautiful world – whether you’re
feeling grumpy or not.
