Kramer Chronicles-Still Life

Hey, it's me Kramer.
I just woke up from a nap.

Give me a minute to put on my 'catitude.'
That's more like it.
My mom's obsession with Scarlett was scary enough but you should see her latest distraction.
It's a real eye-opener!
Yup, another one of her obsessions-art.
Dad surprised her with a still-life print from a favorite artist (Linda Shepherd) for Valentine's Day
(like having a furry Valentine like me isn't enough-hmph).
She had this frame in the consignment shop and brought it home so she can frame the new print-just what she needs-another project.
I mean, it's a nice picture I suppose, but it was missing something...
 a cat!

I really think the addition of a fine furry feline makes this picture much more interesting, don't you?

Take a closer look,
I really think I'm on to something here.
I can see the painting hanging in the Louvre,
Kramer the still-life

 Of course, a more natural curious cat pose might suit this picture better.

Now all I have to do is contact the artist and let her know that she needs to paint me into the picture.
Let's see who the artist is...

Calvin! Get out of the picture!
It doesn't need a dog!

Much better.
Now this is a great still-life worthy of great artists like Picatso, Leonardo da Kitty, Mary Catssat, Toulousse-Laucat, and Vincent van Cat!
Hmmm...I might be here for a while.
Could someone please get me some milk while I wait?
Until next time,
Purrs and Meows,
Kramer aka famous portraiture cat and art critic

Artist Extraordinaire!

We have a favorite local artist, Mac Rogers, who has a gift for capturing the beauty of Beaufort on canvas.
He is currently the featured artist at our local art association.
The above painting is of 'Secession House' here in town.
The gentlemen pictured are the individuals who met at the house on December 20, 1860 just before they headed for Charleston to sign the secession papers.

The above painting is of the 'Planter' gunship on the morning it was commendeered by Robert Smalls during the civil war.
He escaped to Union territory with the ship and then joined the Union in the fight against the Confederacy.

This painting is the marsh overlooking the Beaufort skyline.

Needless to say Mac has a gift for capturing the beauty of the Lowcountry.
