"Yes, yes!" cried Lionel, "all of that!"
Good," said Dr. Tudbelly, "you're quite normal."

what a terrific drawing Minn, and the quote is perfect, lol. Now I've got to go look up the book the quote came from, I mean, any book entitled "the cat who wished to be a man" has to be good, right?? LOL.
Wonderful expression and so neat to see some pencil work! The lips and features are terrific! I hope you are feeling better these days, even if some bafflement or confusion seeps in there just a bit. :)
Visiting from the APR - this is a wonderful interpretation of the theme. I do hope your befuddledness has dissipated somewhat now. If not, it will; take heart and think what you'll have in the end - sheer joy! :0) Mo
I didn't expect to see you here but what a lovely surprise...wow what a drawing :D Portaits, hands, shading...and such expression...oh my I'm in awe Minn.
(I'm definitely going to answer your email soon...promise! It's not that I haven't been thinking about you. I have! If you get a chance to nip over to me before the end of January, I'm having a giveaway and I can put you in the draw) ;D xoxo
Hello Minnemie:) Haha nice quote, it made me laugh. On the other hand, I think you never can control all of your feelings:) I love your portrait! Beautiful expression. So different from your other works. Great job!!
