This is my aloof pose!

 

This is the painting “Grandma” did many years ago.

 

This is Angel Shakespeare.

From the Mom:  Many, many years ago my mother painted that picture of a cat.  Somehow she knew that I would have not one, but two of those beautiful long-haired gingers to love.  I used to think her painting looked a lot like Shakespeare, but now I think it looks even more like Steinbeck.  It’s just more affirmation for me that Steinbeck was supposed to come live with me!
