"Train" for Monday Artday

This is an illustration I submitted for the Monday Artday topic "train". Still trying this style. I might do the next IF topic in this style and then work back in my other technique again. We'll see :o). Thanks for any comments!

So, I pushed myself a bit this time. Believe it or not, as far as backgrounds go, this was one I spent time on. Usually I like to just focus on the characters. I'm going to try and do more backgrounds in my illustrations from now on. Thanks for any comments!

I'm having so much fun with this style I'm working in right now! Comments are always appreciated. Thanks for stopping by!

Highlights assignment!!

Hopefully you can see this ok. This is my first illustration for Highlights Magazine for kids! I was so excited when I got the email from the art director. Highlight has been such a great publication for so many years, known and loved by most moms and kids. Thrilling opportunity and I hope to get to do much more with them! This is to appear in the July publication. Can you find at least 17 differences?

focused- 2!

I did this illustration earlier and thought I'd post it here. This little Dachshund pup sure looks focused on that ball to me! He is one of the prints I am selling at my Etsy shop. Please stop by to take a look at my other prints and tell your friends, too! Thanks!!

I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and create my Valentine's Day card as well. I suppose it's still a couple of weeks away, but ...eh. I love the art of Mary Blair and decided to do this weeks topic in a similar style. I hope you like it!

"Oh! How clumsy of me."

I wanted to show something with contrast here, large and small or a sense of heavy and awkward. My original idea was to have a stork instead of the lion. Might have worked out better that way. Thanks for any comments!
