Alice after a walk
Posted: January 14, 2024 Filed under: Uncategorized 10 CommentsAlice is very tired after her walk in the woods today. Her head keeps flopping off the bed. After yesterday’s big snowfall the woods are great exercise for her — jumping over logs, running back and forth on the paths — but she comes home ready for a long nap. In case you’re wondering, she’s ten years old now. She’s lean and still in really great shape from all the exercise she gets, but she’s whiter in the face. Of course I think about her mortality, as all pet owners do when their beloved pets get to a certain age, but hopefully our many walks will keep her young.
I drew Alice today with a Fountain Disposable Pentel pen. I was introduced to it some time ago, and I am using it more and more for quick pen drawings. It makes beautiful variable weight marks, and I love to add a wet brush to the water-based ink to soften the lines.
When I clicked on the Pen info it took me to a UK site….is that correct? Just asking because I’ve had that happen to me on Instagram on a person’s page thats in the US. Strange…..
Laura, that is correct. I tried to link to the manufacturer’s site. You can also find it under this name: Pentel Pulaman MJ20
Same nib.
Thank you!
So nice🥰
It makes me miss my Lily! But back home to her tomorrow 👍
Love Alice. I like those pens too. I learn so much from your posts. Thank you!

I thoroughly enjoy your emails. I am just starting to sketch animals and I was wondering how long did it take you to quickly sketch Alice?
Sweet Alice.. my dog is 12 now and I know what you mean. Walking is the best! And sniffing 😊
Love your drawing
I would be tired after all that running and jumping too. Nice sketch of Alice in her favorite position. Hopefully the walks will keep her in shape for a long time with you.
Unfortunately a few weeks after you wrote this we had to bring our dog to put to sleep. My heart is broken and I never new I could cry so deeply. I wish you have lots of time to spend with Alice. She looks like a very sweet dog.
