Flora

I began this a couple of days ago and just finished it. It's white conte on black paper and measures about 14 x 20. For those who don't already know I got a little kitty in August and this is a drawing of her sleeping. I have always loved animals and one day I want to have a house full of them. Specifically, I would like to have 2 cats, 2 dogs, a sheep, goat, miniature horse and pig. That is no joke. I think animals are one of the greatest gifts on this earth and can give us so much. I know that my kitten Flora has brought so much joy into my life these past 6 months. From the first day I got her I was in love. I remember giving her her first bath the day after I got her and finding tons of fleas. I completely freaked out because I couldn't stand the thought of these nastly little bugs on her precious little body. I immediately began crying and ran to the vet to get Frontline. After that experience I knew I was completely attached and smitten. Everyday I love her more and there is nothing too good for her and nothing I wouldn't do for her. When I get back to my apt. after a long day I can't wait to open the door and see her run up to greet me after a long nap, with her eyes squinted and letting out a pitiful meow so I will pick her up. This may sound stupid but I have always wondered what kind of mother I would be and having her makes me realize the answer to this question because if I have this much patience with and love for this little kitten I can only imagine what I would be like with my own child. But for now, she is my child and I just wanted to do a drawing of her, kind of in her honor, that will last forever.
