KITTEN IN THE GARDENIAS

Featured Portrait: 

Feral Kitten at The Bird Ranch at San Luis Creek, Santa Nella, CA

In a lovely enclave amidst the dairies of California's rural Central Valley, is a charming chicken ranch, built at the turn of the century. The Bird Ranch of Santa Nella, has been revitalized for modern visitors and on the grounds of this peaceful retreat center is an ancient waterway that serves as a fertile stop on the bird migration path. Between mountains to the East and the Pacific ocean to the West, it is a sanctuary for all who venture there. On one such visit, a flock of kittens emerged from an abundant bush of sweet scented gardenias. In nature, who watches who, is always the question. My friend captured the moment observation and graciously let me paint it with watercolors.
