    This reminds me of a very old French movie in which Leslie Caron played a naive girl who had puppets talk to her, somehow she didn't realize that they were animated by a man who was in love with her. In any case, they are lovely.

    what fun Vanessa... love the juggling piggie! The color palette is really great, almost nostalgic. And so true about having a good circle of friends to keep oneself on track, centered, happy, loved, etc.
    Hope you are well,
    Lisa

    The do look wise-ish, though I don't know how smart it is to walk around with a ice-cream cone that is almost bigger than your head or with a set of china :)!

    Great drawing my friend! Always nice to see your work on a gloomy Monday morning.

    The frog rocks! Kinda sorta reminds me of this frog "Freddie the Frog" from this wacky TV show Called something like "The New Zoo Review"- back in the 70s. Keep up the awesome work. I'm trying to hit deadlines the next couple weeks, so I probably won't post till closer to Christmas. Miss doing it.
