He's a Guinea pig by the way.

I thought it was my wig Marjorie. Love the way you have treated the fur and towels superb

I'm with Dennis. Not 'cutesy' at all, which I like!

What a sweet guinea-pig! You've captured the different textures beautifully, Marjorie...

Posted by Jan Rossington on Tue 08 Mar 19:15:38

Marjorie, he's not even having a bad hair day! Lovely tones and textures to his fur.

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Tue 08 Mar 19:24:47

That glint of a reflection makes it for me.....great...

Dennis, Michael E. Suggested Donald Trump might have a use for him - too cruel for Scruffy. Gudrun, Thankyou, he's a little character. And Thankyou Jan and Fiona - he doesn't like having his hair washed!

Thanks Peter, your comment appeared just after I replied to the girls.

Scruffy is a great character and your pastel has captured his cute good looks .warm towels to lie on too. completely spoiled and why not. lovely work Marjorie

Thanks Syd, you should see him scuttling around the kitchen floor every afternoon when I let him out for a run. ( I'm totally mad!) Actually, it was Derek who suggested him as a hairpiece for Trump.

Gorgeous work on the rug/blanket, and the fur is really well done, even if the little fella looks a bit like cousin 'it'.

he looks a well pampered boy Marjorie beautifully drawn as ever David Harrison

It's horrible day here today Marjorie, I really wish I could snuggle up and hide under that warm hairy blanket! Seriously though you've really captured the sweet character of this little chap.

Posted by Christine Davies on Wed 09 Mar 07:45:18

Lovely, Marjorie, recognised him straight away from your forum post.

Posted by Jenny Harris on Wed 09 Mar 09:35:35

Congratulations Scruffy, you made the top paintings!👌🏼

Posted by Carole Swingler on Wed 09 Mar 10:21:18

I recognised Scruffy as soon as I saw this. Lovely work Marjorie and a great back story as to how this piece came to be.

Posted by Patricia McBride on Wed 09 Mar 10:44:04

Thanks everyone - I'm so excited Scruffy made the top of the page, will tell him and give him an extra bit of corn!

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Wed 09 Mar 11:54:41

Forgot to say thanks Carole, for the comment.

Posted by Marjorie Firth on Wed 09 Mar 12:04:07

He's a cracker Marjorie, excellent work on his coat.

You'd have to go on the Forum for this allusion....anyway, meet Scruffy, a distant relative of Dougal, presently lodging at ours. Pastel.
