I must have been influenced by Andrew Wyeth's Master Bedroom, but I didn't realize it until after I took the shot. It's possible, since I've seen that painting many times. This spot has become Emily's favorite place to nap during the day when I'm working. She looked so sweet curled up there I had to grab my camera before I left the house to catch it. I love the little depression she leaves in the duvet.
