day 1 - rescue pet painting project

Well, it’s officially day 1 of my rescue pet painting challenge and I have a wonderful story to kick us off.  For those of you just joining in, check out the "Rescue Pet Paintings" tab above for more info  

This painting features Samantha (right) and Angus (left)  – both rescued by Stephanie.   Samantha was one of  four wild kitten born under a neighbour’s deck.  After weeks of patience and persistence to gain the kittens' trust, Stephanie adopted two of the kittens while her sister adopted the other two.  Upon arrival, Stephanie’s other rescue cat Angus took the kittens under his wing.  In Stephanie’s words “he treats them as if he were their mama”.  I certainly would say this story had a happy ending.  Thanks Stephanie for sharing Samantha, Jerry, and Angus’s story!
