IF- Blurrrrrrrrrr

The night was a blur. The stage... the lights... the pressure of perfection. It was almost too much! Roberta and Will sang till their fur tingled and the crowd was lulled into a trance. They had made it to Broadway and in the process had lost everything but each other. Was it worth it?... Absolutely!

A new book

So excited to let you all know I've just started a new book. Here is one of the first illustrations.

At first glance...

So I did this illustration after watching "New World". What a great movie!

This is done in watercolor and hopefully gives you a feeling of friendship and anticipation for what the future holds. This is my first try at depicting an Indian. It was a little tough because I had to use a lot of shades of brown but not make them smudge into each other. I'd love to know what you think.

IF- Wrapped aka Lucy and Mr. Tumnus Meet

"He was a faun. And when he saw Lucy he gave such a start of surprise that he dropped all his parcels." ...

We are really into Narnia right now at our house. We are listening to the entire series on CD and of course watching the movies. Mr. Tumnus is a personal favorite. He is so sweet to Lucy. as they say in the book it was, from their first meeting, "as if they had known one another all their lives."

Impatient Graci

Impatient Grace just can't wait, the icings on the cake. Sugar, sprinkles and lots of sweets are things she can't wait to eat.

Scraps

So I had a piece up that I liked all the parts but together they were not working.These are the parts. Whale Shark (brushing his teeth), Lighthouse, and Scuba Boy

Hoof Beat Jazz

The elephants trumpeted, the snakes gave a hiss,

This was a party giraffe didn't want to miss.

This was a fun watercolor I did after seeing an adorable photograph of a prairie dog in a conservation magazine.
