Toasted on both sides

Alice likes her spot in the afternoon sun so much that she will even sleep on the hard floor, which she rarely does. Her old bones prefer the comfort of her bed. I get it.

Today I noticed her on the floor, looking up at me, pleading, I imagine, for her bed. I brought it over and she immediately fell asleep. I barely had time to do one drawing before she flipped herself over so she could toast the other side.

I sketched in my Hahnemuhle A4 portrait book today, using my Pilot pen and carbon ink. Always a satisfying experience!

    My daughter calls it the “Sun Stun Gun”. Glad to hear that Alice was able to get nice and toasty. Both sides. She looks comfortable in your wonderful sketches.

    Always love drawings of Alice! Our old lady, Inky, prefers to find the cold floor and the concrete in the back to lie on as she runs hot!
