A Walk in WychWood ~ Painting on wood by Annabelle & M Via Flickr: Litte Bat went for a walk in WychWood with his favorite witch. The walk for Bat soon ended when he heard strange noises in the woods. Bat, you're such a scary cat!

MY HOUSE, I SAY...Cottage By The Sea ~ Forget Me Not Cottage ( WIP/2 ) by Annabelle & M Via Flickr: Yes, this could be my house and mine, said my husband when he looked at my painting this morning. It's still a WIP. I need to finish painting the grass along the path, maybe a couple of doves on the roof and a cat, just like Robert Louis Stevenson wrote about in the poem "My House, I Say." The Forget- Me- Nots and Tansy are flowers we collected on our trip down east. The Inn at Whale Cove Cottages, Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick, is a place that will always be dear to me and M. We had such a great time there and, Laura, the Inn Keeper at Whale Cove Cottages, made it extra special for us. This painting, inspired by that special place we stayed at one cold October month in 2017. One day, we shall go back! MY HOUSE, I SAY ~ ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON 1850-1894 "My house, I say. But hark to the sunny doves That make my roof the arena of their loves, That gyre about the gable all day long And fill the chimneys with their murmurous song: Our house, they say; and mine, the cat declares And spreads his golden fleece upon the chairs; And mine the dog, and rises stiff with wrath If any alien foot profane the path. So, too, the buck that trimmed my terraces, Our whilom gardener, called the garden his; Who now, deposed, surveys my plain abode And his late kingdom, only from the road."

THE BEST THERAPIST HAS FUR & FOUR LEGS 2 OF 2 by Annabelle & M Via Flickr: APRIL 17/21 HAPPY CATURDAY THEME- CATS IN THE KITCHEN Well, eight legs if you have two of the best therapists one could ever hope to have. There are several tell-tale signs these two cuties want their breakfast. One is peeking inside the refrigerator, and the other is on the kitchen counter. My morning coffee always comes with a side order of two cats waiting on their breakfast. The least I can do is serve them their breakfast when I'm having my cup of coffee. After all, their Therapy Cat Service is essential these days, and we appreciate it very much. Life is a bit sweeter with Maggie and Bat. ♥️🐾🐾🐾🐾♥️

FORGET-ME-NOT - COTTAGE BY THE SEA by Annabelle & M Via Flickr: TWO DOVES, A CAT, AND MY SON, LOL. "OUR HOUSE, THEY SAY; AND MINE, THE CAT DECLARES" AND MINE, SAID; MY SON THIS MORNING WHEN I SENT HIM A PICTURE OF THE COMPLETED OIL PAINTING OF THE COTTAGE BY THE SEA - " FORGET-ME-NOT." I finally decided to place the two doves on the cottage roof and a little white cat in the garden. On to my next painting. I'm practicing "Hygge; bringing in a little bit of Danish culture into my life and sharing with people that seek that same dreamy place in their life.
