Personal work
Second illustration in the series entitled “Readers.” It should really be called “The Crazy Cat Lady.”
There is a beautiful photo by Edward Gorey. He is dozing in a space quite cluttered with papers and books. Three cats appear in the photo. It made me think that this gentleman (a wonderful author) is not called The Crazy Cat Man, although according to the photo, he certainly has all the requirements.
The woman is reading The End of the Story, by Lydia Davis.
Audrey Leary’s living room inspires the background. Her house (and her wardrobe) are a feast of color and patterns.
