Mugshot of "The Lodger"from the back by Marjorie Firth

Great composition and beautifully drawn. Love the little white paw sticking out - makes it for me!

This is just beautiful, I love it,

This is lovely - looks finished to me, don't see how this could be improved. Had a quick look at the rest of your Animals portfolio - just lovely. Never thought about using charcoal/charcoal pencils to do my drawings - will give it a go. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Thea, Karyl and Deborah. I'm enjoying using charcoal again-these things go in phases, so don't know how long this will last. Thea, I must say how impressed I Was when I looked through your portraits. They are so charming! I don't think I was checking in on the site when you posted them.

Even from the back one can feel his personality. Beautiful relaxed position, well done.

Marvellous work Marjorie, that white paw is a super touch and the coat is so realistic I feel I could put my hands into it and give him a lovely cuddle!
