Revisiting The Classics
I’m not the best photographer around, so I was pleasantly surprised to see by a couple of pictures of my kitties that turned out particularly nice. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say they resembled masterpieces!
The original – Sleeping Dog by Gerrit Dou, 1650
also known as Gerard Dou and considered one of the classic Dutch masters of chiaroscuro or the play of light and dark.
Pierrot and Lindor by me, 2015

Why, yes, we were gods in Ancient Egypt. Thank you for remembering.
