Awaiting Guests
The oil painting captures a serene domestic scene centered around an open door, inviting both light and life into the room. A warm fire crackles gently in the hearth, its glow casting soft shadows that dance across the walls. Near the fire, a man sits comfortably in an armchair, absorbed in reading the newspaper, his posture relaxed yet attentive. Nearby, a woman stands by the window, her gaze intent and expectant as she watches for arriving guests.
The dining table is elegantly set, adorned with crisp linens, polished silverware, and gleaming glassware, signaling formal preparation and anticipation. In the foreground, boldly entering through the open door, red cat strides confidently into the house, its presence commanding attention as if it were the guest of honor. The scene combines quiet intimacy with a subtle narrative of welcoming and anticipation, rendered with rich, textured brushstrokes that evoke warmth and a timeless domestic calm. Of course, they expected their cat!

"I see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cozy room,
A little nest that nestles where the roses bloom;
Just Jilly and me, and baby makes three,
We're happy in my Blue Heaven."
(As sung by Harry Connick Jr., music by Walter Donaldson, lyrics by George A. Whiting)
