I just found this in the bathroom:
Perhaps Jesus (the cat) drew it himself. Or perhaps it is the work of another hand. Either way, I was distantly reminded of the story of the origin of painting, which, according to one popular myth, begins with portraiture and the Corinthian Maid’s tracing of human (rather than cat) features on a wall. I particularly like this depiction of the story by Joseph Wright of Derby (1782-4).

Wow. Love it
Your cat is seriously named Jesus? Love that. Excessively.
my mother is 97, and can remember very little. one of the conundrums she does remember, having thought about it all her life, is the origin of painting.
how nice to see this! is it haySOOS like a hot puerto rican gigolo in low slung white linen pants? or Jesus the way y’all pronounce it?
my real quesion is, have you seen the photos of the tokyo 2008 quilt show posted by moonstitches?

fascinating.
This is such a wonderful photograph. If Jesus drew his portrait in the condensation on the inside of the glass, while he sat on the outside, then that truly is a miracle!
