Where Tacky and Art Collide, To Make Tacky Art

Cat Manikin and Portrait of a Cat, Private Collection, My Dining Room, Pittsburgh, PA, 2014


A couple of years ago my mother-in-law, who took up painting in her retirement, painted this portrait of our cross-eyed cat, Peeps.  Then, the other day while I was at the art supply store, I came upon this life-like cat manikin and I thought, wow, this will serve as a wonderful companion piece to the Peep's Portrait!
