This is my abyssinian cat Polly sunning herself.
I've been trying to capture Polly in a pose which 'works' for a drawing ages. Finally I got her. We had a blast of sunshine coming straight in one of the windows and she paused going through the door and had a bit of a think about whether to have a sunbathe or not. I saw here and rushed for camera and sketchbook and stood snapping and sketching for two minutes.
