This is how I avoid housework. Finding paintings of fluffy kittens and pudgy puppies. I'm feeling random - it could be anything. Here we go!
Oh, wait. A note to Dianne: you know, luv, it's not too early to expose Hope to art. Just have her drool on her favorite, k? ;-)

ReplyDeleteAloha, Friend!

All cool. Loved Felix Juggling, but that Steinlen stole the show! :)
ReplyDeletehiya. i am in love with the 1st one. hope you are all doing great!
ReplyDeleteCloudia: I could use Aloha weather right now! It's not too cold here but dreary and damp and, of course, there will be more snow on the way to remind us it's still winter.
ReplyDeleteCR: I was reading some blog where the author asked why Felix the Cat always has this foolish grin on his. Duh. He's having fun juggling rats and getting into various other forms of mischief, as cats do!
Sherry: Hi! I'm glad you came by. Will be over to your blog to catch up soon. We're all well, just sick of winter and the CA faction of our family are all tired of rain.
All the love,
PS
Wonders of Art - my friend.
ReplyDeleteI love the Steinleon. The look on the cat's face is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI love Felix. They just don't make cartoons like they used to, do they?
ReplyDeleteMy mnotorcycle is a Triumph, and the model is a Tiger. I like how that Tiger, by Spencer Hodge, looks ferocious. I should have an artist paint some sort of rendition of a tiger on my bike. I thought of the Japanese baseball team logo for the Hanshin Tigers.
My 5 year old Grand daughter holds our cat like that one in the painting by Steinlen. The cat tolerates better than anything!
Peace.
Ha! you made me laugh
ReplyDeleteand you know me so well
I have a box of "thingies" from museum trips - little postcards of great paintings, programs, stuff like that
I take it out and explore it with Hope
she's very grown up about it
hardly drools
she loves to pat the paintings
they're gonna love us at the MET ;)
What?? I forgot the pudgy puppies! I need to lay off that stuff. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSpado: :-)
Jams: I thought that was priceless too.
Di: I can just you and Hope at the Met...be sure to invite me; I wanna be an autie! :-) Love ya!
I love Felix too. Herriman was a genius.
