Many people have asked me about the painting used on the endleaf of Jolicure Cats. It is actually a slice from a larger painting of me and my first horse, Mammy. It was done by my cousin, Barbara Safran, sometime in the early seventies. The painting is called "July in Jolicure".
The field was across the street from the farm where I lived with my parents. In the background you can see some cows, a couple of marsh barns and the Pointe-de-Bute ridge. I believe this field, is actually the Jolicure cemetery, but at the time it was in a state of total disrepair.
Barbara still paints and her work can be seen on her website at: www.safranstudios.com
