Struggling with my cold today and terible rain outside so have had an indoor day reading, coughing and painting.
I just realized that in February the new Chinese New Year starts and that is the year of the RAT so obviously I started painting rats and mice today. LOL. Both my kids and I myself growing up has had numbers of rats, hamsters, mice, guiniea pigs etc etc so as soon as I freshned up my memories I found that they could make lovely images - maybe for cards later. The one I show you here reminds me of when our rats used to try to get us to give them snacks

Remember I told you about my daughter having made me a Christmas calender? Today opening up the first one, I nearly lost the rest of whatever breath the cold and asthma had left me. Very moving. I am a total weakling when it comes to things like this.
For those of you not understanding Norwegian, of course it says "world's best mum".
I did a couple of bad cats too today. Even though I have no less than 3 cats myself I have started to believe that I will have to spend another year before I am able to paint them. Well it will have to go into that big pile that I keep for possible collage works later. These are for obvious reasons not priced LOL.
