Beautiful painting of a pink cat walking walking on a sidewalk, alongside a wall, under a tree blooming with beautiful pink flowers.  The shadows that the tree and the cat cast lets us know that the sun is going down.  The movement of the painting is so perfect, that the viewer can almost sense the wind, the smell, and the sound of where this image takes place.
