Wow! I have this painting too. Mine was a gift in 1979. I was told it was by an artist in Texas. I would never sell it, but I'd love any information on it that's available.

I also have this painting . My parents purchased it when i was 10 or 11 yrs old . My father put it out to be thrown away only because the silver frame was broken . I now have the painting and want to have it fixed . It has also yellowed around corners because it was left out in the weather , UGH ! I use to have a Persian cat and currently have a Ragdoll named Charlie . This picture means so much to me, i would love to know how many were made and its dollar value . This picture is around 42 yrs. old now. Can you help me ? Thank you , Tina
