How’s this for an odalisque pose?
Well, mama has just read that portrait painting is quote “coming back” unquote! Did it ever leave? She is thinking about putting only portraits in her expo, and since her only dependable model is mama, haha, she would put in all her own portraits and call the show NARCISSUS, or maybe ME, MYSELF, and I. Argg……
Not sure that’s going to fly, mama. You may lose a few friends but I guess you could disguise a few portraits and make them look like someone else. Or just do ME in different still poses and call it CATATONIC, haha.
But seriously, folks, mama is still vacillating, whatever that is, between all kitties (one doggy) and miscellaneous whatevers, so the saga continures.
Meanwhile, I had a BALL with Lynne and am hoping mama and papa will be late today so that I can paint more rooms to surprise them!
Just kidding. Lynne moved my paint cans and I really can’t imagine why she would DO such a thing! You just never know who your real friends are, do you?
Or this? Mama could call this, Drama Queen.
We think your mama should just include paintings of you, Loulou.
Well, that many Tuxie portraits might not be as interesting to some as it might be to … say… ME!
WELL, Loulou, does your mama think HUMAN portraits are all that count!? Besides, Port Vendres hasn’t quite caught up to New York on the trends. So maybe NEXT year, hers? Or this year, whatever. It will be a PORTRAIT expo anyway, since my mama’s portraits are, uh, portraits. But of cats & dogs. And MY portrait hangs in the living room and is HUGE. Well, it’s bigger than the tv, anyway……
Mama NEVER thought that portraits mean HUMAN!!! She does so many cats you can’t count ‘em and she LOVES your portraits. Portraits can be of FEET in mama’s book. Personally, I think mama ought to stick with portraits and get off this draw-a-kitty kick when she has so many anyway. But of course, I tempt her every evening as I stretch and lounge in my Loulou language….
Loulou, you look gooorgeous in the top picture. I mean it, really.
Ah, shucks…..
You are such a beautiful girl.
Oh, merci, but I’m graying a bit…uh, oh.
Yes, you are a drama queen, Loulou. Probably comes from living with an artist. 🙂 Your mama will figure it out and it will be fine. She’s just nervous and wants the exhibit to be a success. Good thing she has you to keep her entertained so she can relax a bit.
Yes, I am BETTER than Valium, haha. Whatever that is.
That last pose looks a bit like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, eh ? The first one is Reubenesque, though you may be a bit too thin for that.
Wow, tell MAMA I am thin!!!
