So Rachel and I touched base at the start of last year, my father had actually passed
00:05
away and I'd asked for a handout towards the public for his service and Rachel from Just
00:10
Cats had actually put a hand up and offered to help with some memorabilia stuff towards
00:15
the funeral and stuff like that.
00:16
So I said to her, look if there's any way I can repay the favour in the future, whether
00:20
it be a mural, some sort of artwork or a canvas, I'd love to do that.
00:24
So I had to give back in that sense and it's just come around to that time where I could
00:28
give back to Just Cats, give back and do a beautiful portrait of Thistle.
00:32
She was stray on a farm, she was shot in the face and then she came into the care of Just
00:42
Cats and she had lots of reconstructive surgery and now she's finding fit.
00:49
She's amazing, she comes in, checks on all the animals, comes into the vet clinic, she
00:55
harasses the dogs here, she's just, yeah, she's awesome.

Corrugation can always be a challenge and if you was actually to lay out that corrugation,
01:06
the fence would be nearly double the length in size so you've got to account for those
01:10
ribs on the corrugation and work on each side of it and then paint straight up the middle
01:15
of it.
01:16
So you have to nearly paint in three different angles to create what you see behind me.
01:20
So I think I worked it out to be between 40 to 45 hours in total.
01:25
That was coming up here and undercoating the fence from the green ugly colour that you've
01:29
seen up until the timber wood look and then I went and got our ply board and stuff like
01:36
that ready for the cat portrait at home.
01:40
It's an action packed year and I'm just so thankful, so thankful for the opportunity
01:45
to paint and be able to do this as a living.
01:48
It's sort of speechless.
