Description
Ceci The Blind Kitten cat portrait by Dora Hathazi Mendes.
I recently started a new collection about cat portraits, where everybody can be selected in case I receive a photograph of their cat at my Cats of Karavella Atelier Facebook Page, to paint a portrait about them without any compromise.
So far I got hundreds of lovely cat images, and started to paint randomly portraits of cats, which I enjoy a lot, not to mention of the lovely feedback I receive day by day from my cat lover friends.
But when I received the picture of Ceci, the blind cat, from her dad Darren, I was not sure I am ready yet for this, because as we say, the mirror of our soul is in our eyes, so when I paint a cat or a dog portrait, one of the detail I am very careful to do it right, is their eyes. So, honestly I felt a bit intimidated from this challenge, and had fear, that I wont be able to do it.
But then I received a request from a dear friend of Ceci, could I choose her, and paint about this sweet cat, because she would like to surprise the dad of Ceci, Darren, with a painting about his cat, I couldn't say no, in fact it made me feel so emotional this such a nice gesture from somebody, who haven't even met them in live .
So I read the story of Ceci once more on her Facebook Fan page, and checked more images, then started to paint Ceci the blind tabby cat, who has such a beautiful markings, that made me forget very fast, that she actually doesn't have something what other cats has.
The painting just got ready in time, as Ceci was adopted by her foster dad Darren on December 24. 2015, who started to foster her 10 days before the adoption. She and her brother were dumped in the parking lot at a Vet's office in Southeast Texas. She had a very bad respiratory infection, and she didn't get to see a vet in time, so it made her eyes rupture. With removing her eyes, they saved her life, which she enjoys immensely with Darren, and her loving family, surrounded with other special needs cats in Nederlands, Texas.
We hope Darren that you will like the painting of Ceci, which you will receive soon, as the friend of Ceci purchased the original painting for you two! We wish you with this present a very happy Adoption Day Anniversary, also Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thank you again Dora, for the beautiful painting of Ceci, and to the mystery friend who purchased it. The painting has been hanging in my living room since moving back into my home, following the extensive repairs from Hurricane Harvey.
