Bundled Up


I was inspired by a photograph from my childhood in Wolf Point, MT. (ca.1947) Carrots, the red Cocker Spaniel, had the same birthday as I do and was my constant companion. By the time I was dressed to go out in the snow, I couldn’t move.

    Haha…what a wonderful sight!!! I love this drawing Kay! It could be me and my sleigh back in the godawful winters of Winnipeg Manitoba…except I didn’t have a spaniel named Carrots sharing my space…just a pesky brother…lol. Those were the days…cozy and warm but absolutely rigid with all those layers!!!!
