'Romeo', Cat Variation #2, A Renaissance Cat

Mouse drawn and painted [airbrushed] in photoshop 5.5. Windows ‘98 platform

I love the music of the Renaissance, clear back in the early sixties I played soprano and sopranino recorders and shawm in a renaissance music consort when music of that period was first being appreciated here in the US.

Below is some beautiful music from the period and beautiful images

Renaissance Music

I had to add this music and video, it is not a true renaissance music sound, but just too beautiful
not to take a see and listen.

Romeo and Juliet

    Since you looked at this card I have added a video clip from Zaffirelli’s 1968 movie ‘Romeo and Juliet’, It’s as gorgeous as I remember the movie being. Take a look and listen.
