JASPER AND THE BIRDS By Angelo Lopez, Acrylic on watercolor paper, artwork is 7" x 9", black frame is 15" x 15" Growing up, I never had a pet. When I started dating my wife, she had a cat named Jasper. At first I wasn't sure how I would get along with Jasper. But when I moved in with my wife, I grew to love Jasper even though he was a lazy cat. Never having had a pet before, I didn't realize that a person could get so attached to a pet. But I did. Jasper passed away in 2012 and I still miss him. He has inspired several pieces of artwork. If you ever feel lonely or on the outside looking in, you can empathize with this painting of Jasper and some annoying birds. Jasper is annoyed, but is too lazy to climb down the tree. But he knows the branch will eventually break, so he waits for gravity to do its thing. If you have had a bad day and you feel alone, just look at this painting and know that eventually things will get better.
