Afternoon Nap - Sunday Sketches
From our vantage point on our patio, our view is straight into three pine trees about twenty feet up from the ground. Many times we have seen squirrels pick out a comfortable limb and sprawl out on it for a quick nap. Sometimes they cradle their head in their arms like a human. Other times they hang their arms down around the branch. This one, today, backed up to the trunk with his tail up, although we have seen them with their tails hanging straight down over the side. I decided to sketch this behaviour today. Enjoy!

Well, I've never seen a squirrel napping before so thanks for sharing! Bet it's a great sight. I wonder if any of them ever fall??
Great sketch...I've never seen a squirrel taking a nap either.... they usually skitting about being very busy... :)
Oh, too cute. I've been in Illinois the past week and have seen these little ones running around like crazy! Mischief makers for sure...I like the nap idea! Happy Sunday Sketches! POP ART MINIS

it's not a cat nap but a squirrel nap! I love it...we have a lot of squirrels where i live, you've got me curious now - too look for sleeping squirrels. great sketch!
Very cool - we have lots of squirrels in my neighborhood, but they always seem so frantically busy... I've never seen one napping! I'll have to keep my eyes out for that :)

Great sketch, Linda. I love just sitting and watching squirrles and discovering what little habbits they have. :) Hugs
What a frisky like guy you have captured.
I love sketches from life and this one is wonderful! Squirrels are so funny to watch.
This is a great sketch! You are quite the artist Linda! I only wish I could draw half as well as you.

Very nice! I love watching wildlife. The animal kingdom is an art all in it's own!

The squirrel looks like the one looking at me when I opened the back door! He had that look in his eye like I was bothering him:)
