A Favorite Winter Spot

Samson
 This has become Samson's favorite winter spot.   The extreme cold has kept him indoors.     He sits here and watches the birds through the glass panes.  It is the perfect place for dozing too.

I haven't caught him reading.  Maybe he does when no one is around.



Pen & Ink Sketch with Watercolor Wash






Did a quick sunflower sketch today.   These cheery flowers always make me think of sunshine and bees buzzing about.  












Well it looks like you know who is getting ready for an afternoon nap.

 So glad you took a moment to visit with us.  Hope all of you are enjoying a favorite winter spot.

  8. What a perfect winter spot with the plants and the sunshine, it looks so cozy, cats always know the perfect place to be, hopefully he lets you sit there sometimes too :) I love the sunflowers and the color of the green leaves, just right. I am so anxious for flowers again, I can hardly wait.

  11. Hi there Debbie!.... What a wonderfully "sunny" strategy to lower the boom on winter's blues! Your sunflower is beautifully rendered and coloured with just enough pastel wash to offer that soft warm feeling of a summer day!

    Thank you for sharing your sunshine sketch... and the cozy view of your home! Winter seems less present after my visit today!

    Good Painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce

Love the view -- and the marvelous sunflowers -- brighten up any spot!!! Beautifully rendered. We've had so much fluctuation in the temperatures ...sure is dizzying .... Hope you are well ... I don't know that I'd want to move from this spot at all! Hugs!
