Roofs and cats

There are quite a few cats around the neighborhood  in Sāo Paulo, and not many birds or mice. On an evening walk we saw this cat on a slate roof and I painted it the next day...the cat from memory. Those tall jungle trees in the background are only there because its part of a nun's convent otherwise it would become condo highrises.

Up on the laundry level at home, which is covered in a slate roof, the family cat slept in a green plastic basket while it poured outside. Raining the whole day I made a few paintings up here its a great vantage point.

Here is another scene from the upper laundry platform, an interlocking puzzle of roofs and slate tiles. Its a great scene at night Ill try to do it some time.
