Recently, the lovely Fiona from Straight Talking Mama blog, did a post detailing the heartbreak she felt when her 60 year old cat vase (as pictured above) broke when a huge wind caused it to crash to the floor.

When I read her story, I felt her loss. What a shame to lose such a precious mid-century piece! I hope Fiona can find another cat vase just like the one she had.
Because I am a "crazy cat lady" and an avid vintage enthusiast, I decided to tap into my creativity and do a painting inspired by Fiona's broken kitty vase. I used acrylic colors of espresso, white, and pink.
I also added two starbursts and applied a thin layer of pink glitter over the pink swirls:
And, here is the painting hanging above my white bookshelf in my upstairs foyer hall:
I like the way the painting turned out but I hope Fiona does not mind I basically did a copy of her cat! I guess since the cat is broken and not able to be fixed, I hope my finished piece can properly honor its memory!
