original watercolor aceo 3.5 x 2.5 c12/2011
Franklin has a brand new pair of prescription glasses. He wasn’t doing very well in the mouse catching department. He just kept missing them as they scurried away. These new spectacles are just the thing. But he is not catching mice right now because he is too busy admiring himself in the mirror.
This little painting was inspired by author Kitty Bloger.
Do I look smart?

He is so funny and sweet. Maybe Franklin doesn’t catch a mouse, but he does catch my smile.
Thank you Han for your comment.

What a grin, Gretchen! Somehow, a cat can carry this off without us becoming perturbed by the fact they are self-centered. Very fun!
You are right about cats being self possessed. And then when they seem to really care about you we are so gratified.
