LEONARDO, click here to view auction on Daily Paintworks.

This is Leonardo about to investigate the interior of a bag. Leonardo is a beautiful cat but I'm glad he lives with my daughter. I kept him and his brother for a year and could have made a living selling stuffed pillows with all the hair they shed. I had to travel with a lint brush. Cat hair was omnipresent. Never again. Only short-haired cats for me.

"Leonardo" is an 10x8 pastel up for auction on Daily Paintworks. Bidding begins at $200. Go here to view auction: http://www.dailypaintworks.com/buy/auction/412121
