Acrylic on Canvas measuring 40 x 50 cm. I had seen these two lovable rogues frequently as they went on walks with their owner. One day I stopped her and asked if I coule take some photographs as reference shots for a painting that I might do in the future. She very kindly invited me to meet them at home, after a while they got onto their comfy chair where they tend to sleep forhours just like this. They are brother and sister - she sleeps on top - and I wonder whether sleeping like this is a habit they picked up from being puppies.
