Кошка просто супер :)

[origa]

Спасибо, очень приятно! Сиамок очень трудно рисовать в суми-е, эта вроде удалась :)

Origa san,
Can I write my comment here?
Your haiga, Cat is very powerful touch.
I like it very much especially the face.

Thank you for sharing.

sakuo.

Thank you, Sakuo san! I am so happy to hear that you like the Siamese cat, they are very difficult subject to paint in sumi-e (as you might have heard from Japanese sumi-e artists)...

有難うございます。

I second it. I love the colors of those eyes, and butterfy's winngs:
as I live home
a stray cat on the doorstep
purrs her mantra

[origa]

Thank you, Stefan! Glad you like the kitty :)

And thanks for the nice haiku. Did you mean "live", or "leave"? I am trying to read it both ways -- and find so many different meanings.... :)

Моей сиамки Марты нет чуть больше месяца...
Можно я сохраню у себя Ваш рисунок?

[origa]

Очень сочувствую Вам, Анжела... Сиамки самые лучшие кошки, правда? Конечно берите, распечатывайте, если хотите. Я могу Вам выслать файл с разрешением 300. Оригинал продаётся (один рисунок, без хайку на нём).

[a_bakka]

Спасибо Вам!
Я вот посмотрела Ваши записи с тэгом "Сонечка" и реву теперь над хайку от 10 ноября 2004 года...
Сиамки настолько самые лучшие кошки, что кажется - даже и не кошки вовсе, а некие высшие существа.

[origa]

Я согласна полностью, сиамки правда высшие существа... Сонечка меня понимала абсолютно, полностью, и любила беззаветно. Никогда больше такой кошки у меня не будет. Извините, что расстроила, не желая. Файл выслать?

so nice to see more of your haiga at James Hackett's website and i enjoyed seeing the nice postcards you've received! i've been looking at some stores lately for some kentucky postcards but haven't seen any that i really like yet.

[origa]

Thank you, Bette. And did you listen to JWH's reading?

[b_oki]

i like his reading and photo of "Symphony of Stones".

i have a printmaking friend that lives in Haiku, Hawaii. sounds like a nice place to live.

[origa]

You have a freind living in Hawaii -- wow!!! Are you going to visit Haiku one day? :)

I would go there right away, now -- if I could...

[pondhopper]

That is one of the most beautiful kitty drawings I've ever seen...the blue of the eyes and the butterfly are amazing.
I know how it feels to lose a beloved animal friend.

Gracias, Donna! El gato se ve exactamente como mi difunto gato siamés Sonechka ...
