The idea  to paint 'Still life with Pomegranates' came to me a while ago. So I bought a few and set  the still-life on the windowsill  as I liked the light and the background of rose bushes in snow . But our Norwegian  Forest cat  Mika –the King of the house really disliked my idea . It was HIS windowsill and I had absolutely no right to use it even for a while .  I hoped half of windowsill would be enough for him  ,but he said No .

 But my artwork  had to be completed and I definitely couldn’t replace it anywhere else . Mika lost all the interest to his other favorite places in the house and wanted to sleep only on that spot –right on pomegranates and cloth – you know it is almost impossible to put drapery twice in the same way . Mika enjoyed jumping on fruits and drapery , pushed them down a few times and really did make my work  difficult .

Besides snow melted and background changed  completely ,so I had to wait for a while  until  new snow fall and only  then was able to finish this painting . Well  , I don’t dare to put  the setting on that windowsill any more, just put a nice soft mat for His Majesty.
