  1. A very strong drawing, I love her, this woman, this drawing is so real, it feels like a reality, this will be me when I'm a bit older, and the password I get here now is "related" ha ! :-) So good you are drawing, Ramona! Love, Barbara

  3. I like her :) It's good to be happy in little things. It's just snowed here (in the pacific northwest that's a rarity) and beyond all reason- I saw a hummingbird! I felt that it was a message to follow joy, and to find it even under unlikely circumstances.

    Take Care,
    Crystal

  4. In former times she had a lot of animals, sheep, hen, a horse, a dog. But she became old, and she is not so strong to keep all these animals. The dog died, horse and sheep found another place. She just has her cat, a very old and true cat, and the neighbor's cat. She does her simple work and is feeding the cats.

    Dori, very nice interpretation! And maybe the neighbors cat is your missing Biau!

  7. She is me, too... in a few years maybe? Her mouth is just a tad open as if she is murmuring her little kitty things to her friends. The cat by the door is waiting patiently, or wondering why the other one got food first. But the woman is murmuring her kitty songs and sweets and calms them all with her wide open heart.

  9. A very patient cat, most unlike the one who lives here!

  11. It's me this evening! First time since years I did not look after the sheep and pony, Timmi is in the animal clinic, and only Foxi is here, thanks goodness, he is here. The neighbors cat is so lovely. Do you think, she is Biau?
