one rescued leaf

Kristen brought me two pretty red leaves to sketch, knowing how I miss the colorful maple trees we had in Kansas. I set it aside until after washing dishes — and then heard small crunching noises. Turned around to find our mischievous cat, Scottie, beginning to eat this leaf. The other one was nowhere to be found.

He often snatches up leaves and pine needles that get tracked in on our shoes, usually throwing up later. Thankfully, he was not sick this time.

I drew this in ink & colored pencil on toned paper. How weird is it that both fountain pens currently filled with black ink ran out before I finished?
