Last year I painted portraits of Boo during the pandemic. I had enough to make a calendar - which I gave to family and friends as a holiday gift. Well, the pandemic is still with us, as is Boo, and I am grateful to have another year with him.

This year, I decided to raise funds for cat rescue organizations by making the calendar available online at www.themanylivesofboo.com Boo patiently sat for 13 more portraits with silly plays on his name. He loves the attention and now has his own Instagram account.

He is frequently found lounging in the sun at the base of the lemon tree. Once in a while he gets his favorite treat, an In-N-Out meat patty. Lately, I have been painting rocks with his image and dropping them in different places in the neighborhood. He will soon be the subject of an image for the upcoming Pasadena Chalk Art Festival.

Fame has not changed him, as he still finds time to visit his old friends in the area. Please scroll down, enjoy the images, and be sure to let me know which one is your favorite!
