I almost did miss the beastie in the bottom painting. Almost. Fortunately I was too busy looking out for Weeping Angels to blink!
ReplyDeleteThe first picture is at the same time relaxed and uptight, so British ;)
ReplyDeleteOn the second, I truly wonder how the painter had the cat hold the pause lol !
The third is absolutely beautiful, I loooooove impressionism (I even visited Monet's house and gardens at Giverny).
That second cat does look as if something's funny. :D
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures are gorgeous in different styles, but I think I like the first one by Taylor best. I love those paintings of pensive women, reading or thinking of something far off, or in this case, musing with a lovely cat companion in her lap. It was wonderful to have the title from the song in Twelfth Night! I can just hear Ben Kingsley singing it over the credits in the film! Thanks, Michelle, for this lovely post.
ReplyDeleteNice! I like love these!
ReplyDeleteGreat paintings, Michelle!! I like the Cuyp the best (love that laughing cat!), but the last one is a close second.
ReplyDeleteCome to JaneReads, y'all, to see my Kitty Paws post for Cat Thursday!

I love the second one, as it looks like the cat is laughing. I'm a little worried about that fish though... ;)
ReplyDeleteThat second picture is a bit scary. Sorry for double linking, my first post disappeared.
ReplyDeleteSecond cat creeps me out, but so does the girl
ReplyDeleteI like the first one and not just because its by a British artist. To see a cat curled in someone's lap like this puts me in mind of our tom cat, Puck, who though sadly no longer with us used to love to lie like this.
ReplyDeleteGreat to be joining you Michelle, thanks.
