I just love it. And I do recognize the pose. The cat should be most honored-but knowing cats, I suspect the cat thinks "oh course, I deserved that". Oh Bev, so cool–painting a cat in a Gaugin style.

I know I shouldn't be surprised to see this side of your creativity. Somehow I'd missed that you could paint like this. Holy Kamoly. It's gorgeous. All my good wishes to you and Don. Everyone I talk to is so impatient for Spring and I can understand your longing for the smell of loam, the sound of peepers. Let me refer you to Nina's Blog. She's actually heard peepers in February. http://natureremains.blogspot.com/2008/02/first-cheerful-voice.htmlIt made my heart sing. Stay cozy. Be well, my friend. The light is returning. Have you heard the Titmouse say so ? Hi Bev,

I was just thinking that last night! - am - Thanks, am. Yes, it's been a very long winter. However, it has given me some time to do a little bit of painting. I had gotten away from it for a few years, but am getting some enjoyment from it these days. I'm sure you know what i mean. - Cate - Thanks for the well wishes. I thought of you and your snow when we were up for a drive in Lanark a few weeks ago -- on one of the winding backroads between Clayton Lake and Middleville, the snow banks were so high that we were musing over what the plows will do if the snow continues to fall as the roadway was already becoming quite narrow! I hope that we will have an early spring! Randa - Yes, it sure is nice to see the longer days. I was just thinking that last night!

Secondly, I love the photo. Thirdly, we are in the same predicament in the Lanark Highlands - we seem to be doing little these days except move snow, and the drifts are so high that I am having trouble heaving snow up onto them. Poking about in the woods is treacherous because of the deep snow everywhere, and we are all suffering from cabin fever and general grumpiness - I am definitely not a serene old hen when kept out of the woods and indoors for days at a clip. May there be an early spring for all of us - I am thoroughly weary of taking snow pictures.
