When you’re busy raising hamsters, you’ve much less time for drawing fish. Alas. So, to while away the time not spent watching baby hamsters squirm, when I am not busy cooing — and saying “oh, look! how cute!” — I do this. Today’s copy after an old master is from Rubens’s famous painting of his second wife Helena.
Yep. Left hand again. If I keep this up, I’ll be afraid to draw with my right hand again!

We took all the babies out of the nest, briefly, for this photo-op during which session we identified the girls from the boys. This vital information we need for future reference! We want to make certain that we exit the hamster business as quickly as we entered it.
Readers will be happy to learn that both mother and babies are doing great!
