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!

Your gramma certainly captured Steinbeck’s heart and soul without ever knowing him. Mark one up for gramma.

She sure did.
Big kisses and hugs to you Steinbeck! ❤ Xoxoxo
Thank you!
That painting TOTALLY looks like you, Steinbeck!
I think so, too!
Bigger purrs…..Steinbeck
Some things were just MEANT to be……..obviously your Mom knew that long ago!
Hugs, Pam
Pam,
It always amazes me when I look at that picture……especially now with Steinbeck.

Wow, what a beautiful painting by your grandma. She really did know.
She did. We’re glad!! 🙂
Yes, there does seem to have been some precognition there. I know that must give you happy chills.
Sure does 🙂
Gorgeous picture and gorgeous cat.
