I love alleys, and I knew I wanted to draw an alley scene. However, I just couldn’t find the “right” spot and I was tiring of driving around our area, so I settled on parking in our own little parking lot next to our garage on our own alley. I parked sideways so I could open the car window and comfortably peruse the scene. The ants ended up being out of proportion, but then, by merit of their activity, perhaps they deserve extra notice.
