Inspired my Maud Lewis - Was going to include her tulips, but kept it miminalistic. For another time.
Maudie was both with birth defects and had junivile RA and this followed into her being an adult. worse she had it with much pain in her hands.
She lived in a 10 x 9,5 foot house, yes you read correct and one bedroom upstairs.
She sold her art to selected few at first, but she later had people in their droves, driving to buy her art, and I believe to see her home.
Fascinating story and lovely painting. Thank you Ern. Xxx❤️
I love this painting, and hadn’t heard of Maud Lewis so looked her up, I’ve learned something new today thank you 😊
Thank You HHThere is a film called Maudie HH, that was brilliant. She really bought the short straw. he type of folk art I like.
I’ll have to look out for that film.
it's Very good HH.
Going to sound redundant but LOVE it!
Thank you Sharon.
😍😍 The flowers are beautiful but the cat I’m absolutely smitten with ! He’s such a cuddly looking ball of fluff 🥰 ( and I’m not a cat person) Maudie would be impressed with this one Ern x
Thank you Val, Maudie is inspiring.
I love it. Maud type cats make me smile. The flowers are lovely too. xxx
Ern, thanks so much for introducing me to the works of Maud Lewis. So interesting. Here is a picture of the inside of her house. (Though it looks like a painting.) I love how you have painted the white cat, the outline is very clever. Again, it is a very interesting painting, and I love the chosen colours.
Thank you Greenthorn, Maudie's house was just an extention of her. you photo captures that. netflix is currently running Maudie, so good.
Now Ern007, that pussy cat looks really freindly and cuddly have you got a name for he/she ?
To be honest - not yet Katie, but if it's a femail??
When i lived in as a childrens Nanny ( many moons ago), we had a beautiful white cat whose name was Snowflake.
At a previous job there was a colleague there who had an extremely bossy white cat called Elvis!
Out femail cat is bossy - she dominates the male
Hi Ern, love the painting it's simple but very clever (if that makes sense) I probably mean minimalistic? and really cute pussy cat. The story of Maud is fascinating. What a strong lady she must have been. I hope you're OK?❤️😊xxx
That's a great painting Ern 🖼 Thanks for sharing them all. How long does it take you to paint them?
Purrrrrfect. One of our cats was a large white male with a tabby head and tail markings. With the sun out today we would have been popping his sunscreen on nose and ears. So a wonderful memory from your fantastic painting . Of course flowers in art always welcome. I enjoy looking at Maud's work since you brought her to my attention. Thank you and take care. xx
Thank you Dottie - As a child we had a large Persion white named Smudge, always had cats.xx
Yes I did too. First cat was all black. Partial to a Tabby and always adored Grey cats but not had the privilege to share our home with one. Persian take some grooming but are spectacular . So Smudge teh name lives on with Don. xx
Now since narried, had gibger/black/black and white, and a huge grey, Thhe grey tom was a good cat untl someone creasoted him, we had to bath him, which cats hate - He was a changed cat, he used to sleep on Annes knee, but no more, he even attacked her, so far was his mind gone. xx
