It's been a lazy kind of weekend thus far. With the warmer weather lately, it's been great getting outside to walk and enjoy the sunshine. So that means taking a break from the studio...and that I'm certainly OK with! Personally, I enjoy getting out and "looking" for inspiration to pour into my work throughout the week. :)
Above is another peek at a birthday card I'm currently designing/illustrating. For those of you wondering, the "2" represents the birth year. This entire greeting card series will range from ages 1 through 12. It's coming along great and a project I'm very much enjoying.

ReplyDeleteif I was a kid I would love to receive this card :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project! It will be great to see the whole series when they are finished.
ReplyDeleteHi Paula, sorry to say I don´t use GOOGLE+ so I am unable to comment on your art :(
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea for a project. No. 2 feels definitely a lot like spring with the juicy greens and pops of other colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all the cards will be adorable and wonderful, I already like this one. I notice more red/orange mushrooms, I seem to see them a lot in your drawings or maybe it's just me...
ReplyDeletehave a lovely day.
I will have a need for such a card at least twice this year ... I look forward to them being available. You art is so full of joy. I hope your life is as well :)

ReplyDeleteWonderful start to the series!
ReplyDeleteHuge congratulations on your Book Award. You continue to do amazing things with the new book series and birthday cards. So happy for you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to get your comment - thanks for stopping by Alex.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award - that's such wonderful news. Michael must be thrilled, and so proud of you.
Love the card ideas - most little kids cards are so blah - these will be just beautiful with so much details in the plants. Our little great grandson Colin, whose nursery has your sweet bear paintings, will be one come April - how time flies. Perhaps you will have cards printed by then - I would love to send him one, and then two, three etc, etc.
Hugs to you both - Mary
