AED Day 21 - Cats, Cats, Cats!
I walked into my living room today, where my husband was relaxing with a sandwich and the newspaper. Guess who was sitting at full attention, waiting for a morsel to fall unnoticed, to be gobbled up in an instant!
I haven't produced any new artwork lately, but I have been involved in the world of art in a different way. A newly formed arts council in my town is planning a Holiday Stroll in December. I'm part of a group which is scoping out shop windows in the downtown area where local artists can display their work during the stroll. I'm excited that I will be able to have a space for my own work - a great opportunity to be in contact, as an artist, with people in my own community!
I thought it would be fun to use this post to share a few cats from my collection of 'little cats'. I have purchased some when traveling, and some have been given to me by my husband and daughter.
The one on the left was brought home to me just last night by my husband who returned from a business trip to Thailand. On the upper right is a jade cat which he had brought from Hong Kong and on the upper left is a cat from the Czech Republic. My daughter Kate brought the black painted cat on the left in the middle row from Mexico, and the one on the right in the same row from New York City.
Others have been purchased in Quebec, Maine, New York and Massachusetts.
They live in different spots in my house, but after this 'photo shoot' I think I'll give them new locations. All the better to enjoy my little guys with a fresh point of view!

Oh, these are beautiful! I love the top left cat.
how about the one sitting, cross legged on the top? what a character!
Oh, your cat collection really made me smile and Kristy looks adorable hoping to share a bit of the sandwich!
Thank you, Gayle, Karen and Nan. The cross legged cat is from Kate and is very heavy, occasionally toppling from its perch and leaving a dent in my hardwood floor!
Glad the gang brought a smile your way!
I love all the cats! I like the curled up tabby in the centre best and the one 'eyeing' the sandwich! x
