Cheshire Cat

"I wish you wouldn't keep appearing and vanishing so suddenly: you make one quite giddy!
'All right', said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone.
'Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,' thought Alice; 'but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!'

- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,
By Lewis Carroll (1865).

Here is the illustration of the Cheshire Cat from 'Alice in Wonderland', which I sent out today to Devon, in the UK. For some reason, I really enjoy sending out artwork to Devon, and the illustration is going to Brixham on the coast. This drawing was made using chalk pastels, and I like using this particular art material because of the vibrant colours which can be achieved.
