Ekphrastic April, Day 30: "Two Sleeping Cats"

I'm going to end my 4th annual National Poetry Month series of ekphrastic cherita with a cat painting  by Wanda Gág, author and illustrator of one of my favorite picture books, Millions of Cats.



"Two Sleeping Cats" (1928) by Wanda Gág [1893-1946].

with a cup of coffee 
and nowhere else to be

  1. Once in a while, we still read Millions of Cats, definitely one to remember. You've shown my Saturday, too, Diane. Have a lovely weekend!

  2. Diane, I regret not visiting at all during April. This is a wonderful, complex project that I didn't know was underway. I hope I can get back.

    1. Please come back, if not for any other reason than to see the artwork by unacknowledged women artists we've missed along the way.
