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.

LOL Anni what an adorable piece of art but I am laughing at the book titles, how did you ever come up with those, love it!
Anni Morris replied
Hello Little Rascals :) Thanks, I just imagined myself as a cat LOL! I had a whole ream of titles but only room for a few, I appreciate you looking ~ Best regards ~ Anni

Kitties, books and flowers… some of my most favorite things! Absolutely charming Annie! :)
Anni Morris replied
Hello Cianna, Good to hear from you, hope you are keeping well? Yes I agree…cats, books and flowers are tops on my list too…gardens aswell. Thanks for looking in ~ Anni xxx
Barbara Glatzeder
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

PERUGINA
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
PERUGINA
ps.. good luck with the exhibitions!
:)
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 :)
Karin Taylor
the books are such a great addition, the titles are so apt and funny….wonderful work with a real happy feeling, Bella is decidedly sweet… i love this kitten and the lovely rosy wallpaper behind is another delightful detail Anni :) x
Anni Morris replied

Frances Perea
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!
