Sorry I haven’t been around much over this last week. I have been busy painting, as two exhibitions are coming up. I will try and get round to catching up with all your beautiful work this week.

This is Bella, a librarian’s cat. She is very well-read. Bella likes nothing better than to find a quiet, warm spot and to curl up with one of her favourite books. She has an extensive library for such a young cat. Just look at her titles.

    very well read for such a young cat :-))) Sweet, Anni, love it. Those flowers are gorgeous to finish the whole thing off. (lol!! enjoy your canary!! hahahahahaha)

  • Anni Morris replied

    Hi Barbara, Yes…this cat doesn’t get out much LOL! A bit of a bookworm tell the truth. My mum used to paint flowers like this on greetings cards years ago…if she is looking down…I am sure she will be smiling. Yes, I think Bella here will drop a few rungs on the karma ladder each time she catches a canary. Thank you ~ Anni xxx

    This is too cute Anni! Love the concept and your composition.
    I enjoyed very much reading the behind the scenes – everything about this screams charm!
    (((hugs)))

  • Anni Morris replied

    Hello Patricia, yes I like to give them (the cats) some background. Unlike Milo I painted a short while ago, this one is purly fictious but gives the painting a context and I enjoy weaving a wee story. Good to see your back ~ Anni xxx

  • Anni Morris replied

    Thanks, I like the painting but hate packing up paintings to send away. Fortunately one of the exhibitions is local so I am spared that. :))

    I hope your exhibition goes well.
    My Mum and Dad have lots of old books with spines just like these…but I prefer these funny titles…a lovely painting…love the wallpaper too! vix

  • Anni Morris replied

    Hello Vicky, I have a small wooden shelf unit in the hallway with a collection of these lovely old books. Their spines are beautiful faded colours, some with the most intricate detailing. Then when you open them and read them…the speech is so precise and dated. It is like going back in time. I love those old chintzy fabrics and papers, so wanted to incorporate them too. Thanks for looking ~ Best regards Anni :)

    Wonderful! I’ve always suspected cats could read, the way they like to hang out around books and rub their chins on the corners of the covers!
