Such a lovely natural pose here Russell, delightful stuff!

Perfect. Sleep caught exactly, their hair wonderfully rendered. The blue page is an excellent choice that enhances the mood.

Absolutely beautiful!! Such a lovely drawing and the blue paper gives it a nighttime feel.

Such lovely young girls in a beautiful state of sleep. Perfectly captured Russell. It’s such fun to watch them grow and keep a painterly record.

The sleep of innocence……simply beautiful Russell.

You caught them in a lovely moment Russell. Very well drawn, not easy I’m sure.

Were you dressed as Father Christmas, Russell, in case they woke up? Perspective handled beautifully!

A delightful drawing Russell.

I'm out of new superlatives for your brilliant work; not only have you captured the immediate scene but told a story and left lots of questions to draw us into the implied narrative. Superb, as ever, my friend; God bless

They look so perfect and angelic. I bet they were a bit different the next day! Beautifully drawn. Their hair looks fantastic!

I'm wonder whether you took a photo while they were asleep Russell, or you just sat there, and quietly enjoyed drawing ;) Very sweet indeed!

Nice and sweet one, Russell.

You have captured the sleep so well, I am speechless!

A3 Pencil Rather late to be posting this. Sophie and Millie were obviously very excited on Christmas Eve but Millie ( on the left ) was feeling a little apprehensive too so Sophie jumped in bed with her.
