Description 
This picture is inspired by a rich family heritage of music. My papaw, uncle Mark, and uncle Jim regaled us with their beautiful blue grass tunes as often as we could talk them into it. The first summer that we moved to the farm house, we found a small and rotund yellow tabby kitten nearly frozen. My brother and I brought her in for a warm bath. When my father realized that we'd gotten this little kitten wet, he knew we couldn't put her back outside in the frigid weather. This is how the cat with the huge balloon-like belly, became our first indoor cat. Bubbles became legendary for her presence in our house. I combined both of these memories into a painting that shows the hymns we grew up on, the music and family traditions that we shared, and the silly little Bubbles the cat.

 Same Style Impressionism
An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
