Welcome - sketch

The first thing that came to mind was a little old lady letting a stray child into her home. She would be full of warmth and welcome. But as I started on the tracing paper she wasn't an old lady anymore, but an old lady rabbit. I can't remember the last time I painted an animal. As I redrew this on the tracing paper a few things changed. The main one being the direction of the wind is now going right...which to me just works better.

Before I go into nothingness rambles, I look forward to posting the final piece. I started painting it last night, but alas last night was the beginning of a new season for "The Office", and it couldn't be missed. "Community" wasn't too bad following either. :)
