This 1978 piece shows Nina the cat, one of the many pets Eleanor Dickinson and her family members owned and loved throughout their lifetimes. Nina had one blue eye and one green and was owned by Eleanor Dickinson’s mother.
Eleanor Dickinson often retold the story of one of her first major art projects–when she was a small girl in East Tenessee, when she painted Cinder, her grandmother’s cat, to add some variety to her natural feline colors.
