Subterranean

Lily mouse found it was nice to have a 

subterranean house with mad max cat on the prowl.

Perspective

 

Ma Farmer changed her perspective on sweet potato 

nourishment after pulling this baby out of her garden.

An edited version of a page in

my new book "The Gigantic Sweet Potato"

coming this fall.

Clumsy

Are cats clumsy or curious?

Curiosity killed the cat...it may have just been plain clumsiness.

Renewal

Napping is great renewal for the body, mind, and soul, especially with friends.

So the renewal of my goals are....do IF every week for all of 2010.

I am trying to keep each illustration in a 7x7 format, and hopefully with the same characters.  

We will see how this stretches my time(when under deadline) and imgination.

So this is being posted three weeks late. LOL These goals of mine.

What fun!!!

IF: Caution

The cat and the dog used no caution as they howled at the circling bee.

I used a slightly different medium this week. I am not sure how I like it, but thought I would post it anyway. I usually work in transparent watercolor, this illustration is liquid acrylics like I use on my my canvas paintings. Hmmmmm, not sure.

Impossibility

IF-Impossibility
At the moment pulling up the gigantic sweet potato seemed an impossibility.

Lucky this worked so well as I am pushing a deadline for a couple of projects.(smile)

This is a double page spread out of the next book from Dianne and I. I am currently working on Madame Poule and Monsieur Roach, a New Orleans folk tale. Yesterday I had that great feeling of reaching into the P.O. Box and getting that big yellow envelope that says contract! Yea!!
So...coming some time next year will be "The Gigantic Sweet Potato"
