# 7: Cathy and Jeannette

These sweet sisters who are from the outskirts of Wilmington moved into the studio next to mine in May, and I couldn't have gotten better neighbors. Cathy (on the left in the white top) has been painting for forty years. She is an accomplished artist who works mostly in oils, but she also does fabulous woodcarvings. Jeanette has recently retired, and Cathy is slowly but successfully getting her interested in art. We do need something to do post retirement, don't we! Remember the tee shirt with the zebra on it that Jim was wearing in an earlier post? The zebra was Cathy's art. She does fine charcoal drawings of animals. How she does that beautiful detailed work is beyond me!
