We all know the tale of the owl and pussycat, who sailed off for a year and a day in a beautiful pea green boat and ended up on some island where bong trees grow. They were very much in love so got married by the turkey who lives on the hill, after getting a pig to sell them the ring from the end of his nose. But did you know that the owl and the pussycat had owlittens – lots of them? Most people don’t know this because owlpusses don’t leave Bong Tree Island and not many people know how to get there, so they are seldom seen and not much is known about them. I had a chance to visit Bong Tree Island and met a number of the ancestors of the owl and the pussycat, and they agreed to let me paint and interview them so people back here could get to know them. Photographs were prohibited as they have strong superstitions about them.
This is Sir Winfred Owlpuss III, who is a regal fellow, and very friendly and informative. He was a pleasure to meet and visit with, except he kept trying to give me dead mice to eat, and seemed a little offended that I wouldn’t accept his offer. Unlike Ed Collard, there are some foods I just won’t eat. The owlpusses, or owl cats as some prefer to be called, love mice, which is the main staple of their diet. Some of the younger ones have somehow gotten a hold of, and really enjoy Friskies, but the older ones won’t touch it, saying it is filled with chemicals and forbidden animal parts.

Owl paintings remind me of one of my favorite authors—
A serious writer is not to be confused with a solumn writer. A serious writer may be a hawk, or a buzzard or even a popinjay, but a solumn writer is always a bloody owl!
~ Ernest Hemingway
