#22/365 Paintings 2013

This will be a very short story…

…about a girl who drank Sleepy Time tea and fell into a luxurious afternoon nap with her cats. The cats didn’t need herbal tea to become the lumps you see in this painting. Nope, not these cats.

By the way, this is the packaging label I want on my Sleepytime tea box. I would buy a lot of it and maybe take more much needed naps. ; )

I want this on my Sleepytime tea label, too. Shouldn’t be too hard to arrange! : )

  Sage, thank you for that. I would SO love to illustrate packaging brands – the ones I enjoy of course… it would be very satisfying. Another thing to look into for sure.

Those are my cats! You captured Buster and Hooter perfectly, in their favorite positions.

  Wow Lis, lucky you. You have the BEST cats. They must feel very safe and comfy with you two in your beautiful home. And WOW is it a gorgeous home.
