Cat meows. Hungry for holiday treats. May the stockings be filled with joy for all. Cat’s in the bag wondering when more fun will arrive. This is an artist’s pastel picture.

A cat in a bag is always hilarious. Lovely arting, lovely crocheted rug, cool books! Have a wonderful festive season. Sending heaps of hugs and best wishes.
Sending you huge hugs and bunches of best wishes too!!! I hope your festive season is relaxing and pleasant too!!!! And thank you for your kind comment!!! 💙💙💙💙
Yes!!! The old fashioned Victorian portrait was exactly what was on my mind!! It was fun to play with it - and I'm delighted that you saw what I did!! Thank you!!!! 💙💙💙💙
You're doing really good at visual literacy!!! It's such a fascinating topic for me too - I'm continually amazed at how visual art can reference mutually shared cultural experiences much the way written literature can. Decades ago in college I did a thesis on the representations of storms/storm clouds in paintings and the similar use of storm/storm clouds in written literature. I remember starting my paper with "It was a dark and stormy night..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much!!!! Happy Holidays to you too!!! I'm delighted that you enjoyed my work this year and I hope you'll join me this coming year too - I intend to keep going 🤞🤞🙏🙏
I'm so grateful for your comment!!! Thank you so much!!!! And yes, very happily there are so many books... 😆😆📚📚📚📚📚 ... feels so decadent and indulgent just to look at them!!! Seeing them and knowing they're written by people who are thoughtful and caring gives me hope too 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I love how the blue cat with the flower frame reminds me of Victorian studio portraits--only whimsical--and blue!

I guess I am improving my visual literacy, which has been a goal for a few years now!

Thanks, Sue! I would love to read your thesis. Did you keep it?
I tried hard to keep it - I was proud of it and would love to share it with you - but unfortunately it's long gone now. 😔
Bummer . . . (I know how that goes.)
Happy Holidays, Sue. And thanks for so many lovely posts on your Stack during 2024.
Thank you so much!!!! Happy Holidays to you too!!! I'm delighted that you enjoyed my work this year and I hope you'll join me this coming year too - I intend to keep going 🤞🤞🙏🙏
