When I was a child, beds had blankets. The amount of blankets always depended on the season. Growing up in England, a cold icy winter night would warrant two to three blankets with a large eiderdown placed on top. I still love a blanket but they tend to be the ones used as colourful throws over the settee or taken on a picnic. This picture I did last year "childhood imagination at bed time". A quick sketch done with "copic" pens.

I really like the limited palette and the birds - it really does show imagination. This is a lovely piece:>
I think you did a great job pulling energy into a rather static scene. Very well done!
Like the use of limited colour, it has a feel of mystery about it. Very dreamy and warm under the blanket! I like it.
Jammy!
I love the tones in the work, it sets the mood and the line work is wonderful! Striking illo!
