JASPER AND THE SEA by Angelo Lopez. 24" x 36". Acrylic on canvas. Jasper was the first pet that I ever had. He came into my life when I began dating my wife. I grew to love Jasper even though he was a fat and rather lazy cat. Even though he passed away in 2012, both my wife and I still miss this cat. Jasper loved fish. I'm sure if he had the wherewithal, he would try to catch the biggest fish possible for a scrumptious snack. This idea inspired this painting. I had also listened to the story of Jonah and the whale at a Sunday sermon. This would be a perfect gift for the owner of a lazy but beloved pet cat.
