I had a cat in the scene, but the cuteness of it made me eradicate it. Sorry cat, let's just imagine you're there, somewhere, in the dark.

I llove the emotional content of painting from memory. It is clear you see beauty in the shadows as well as the light. The cat is well hidden!
This is gorgeous and emotional, Celeste - let's hear it for memory paintings - really lovely!
I have to agree with both comments I see. What a lovely image and one that draws me as a moth to flame. I love the darkness like this.
I love this one, Celeste. I could never do anything by memory! That's an art by itself!! LOL
Celeste!
Very, very nice.
Something I love very much about "unfinished" pieces.
Happy Thanksgiving!

You capture the imagination with this softly shining moment, Celeste.
you are SO good at these scenes, Celeste. It's all there, the atmosphere, the light ... the cat!
I really love this type of painting - brilliant!
ES UNA PRECIOSIDAD!!!
FELICITACIONES, QUERIDA CELESTE!

This is really great, Celeste. Love that you can make up such a compelling scene from memory!
Wonderful subject - love the subdued thoughtful result.
like it exactly as is
A beautifully impressionist piece, Celeste. Somehow feels very nostalgic, as if a memory of mom reading while listening to the radio.
The light seems more than lamp-light. It seems like a glimpse down the vista of years, recalling safe childhoods and contented moments.
And cats are like that, silently around, present, but not always revealed to human scrutiny.
