Proof that I am a Little Weird – Acrylic on Canvas
It’s a cat in Bethville! Oh My! This is a little diversion, since I’m sure you’re a little tired of Kansas City paintings. Do I see life a little differently from normal people? You bet! 
About Tennessee Williams
Tennessee Williams was the pen name of Thomas Lanier Williams, the multiple-award-winning Southern Gothic playwright best known for his plays Streetcar Named Desire and The Glass Menagerie. He was born on March 26, 1911 in Mississippi, where he had a difficult childhood with an abusive father, a smothering mother, and a schizophrenic sister. His emotionally honest plays often feature sensitive souls who don’t fit into a confining culture. He spent most of his adult life in New York City. He died on February 25, 1983.
I absolutely love Bethville and Bethville kitties.
Love it!!! ~Sophia
I feel compelled to reply today in a numbered list, as follows:
1. Who needed proof?
2. NOT TIRED of city paintings!
3. Hooray for avoiding the pitfalls of normaldom! (Normalness? Normality? Normalishness?)
4. Beautiful cat! One of my favorite animals you have done! Love those colors and flowers. So cool!
He he he Thanks so much, Cindy! I love your list!
I don’t know if I would use the word “weird”. I would use creative, clever, imaginative and wonderful! Only you would look at this cat and paint it that way. And we, your fans, love that!
This is a beautiful cat. In real life and in Beth-land!
Awwwww! So nice, Carol! Thank you! **beaming**
