Each night Issy would take out her favorite hair magazine and pray for luxuriously long fabulous hair that was "Breezy" and easy just like the girl in the magazine ad. Issy had an aunt Nessa who was bald and she prayed for her too. he he he!
Little darlin'! It's like watching those ads on TV - girls with hair that dances and shines and flips and flops so impossibly beautifully! Deliciously lovely illo, Vanessa!
The girl who dreams of her future! Very nice. I also like the very cute boys with glasses, but the better the picture in red: Ahhhh, finally a Little Red Riding Hood worthy of all children! Little Red and wolf friends! This makes a beautiful fairy tale that I have always seemed a bit grim! Brava!
Adorable post. And clever. I think until we have all that flowing hair, we want it. But, it's a chore to care for! With that said, I hope she gets her wish :)
Hi Vanessa,your illustrations are wonderful. I look at your pictures daily and always see a refreshing picture that touches the kid at heart in me. I have been looking for an email address for you so I can dialogue with you regarding digital illustration. Let me know how you can be contacted. Have a great day.
Does any one really have breezy hair? In all the adds for hair products on TV the small print on screen says whoever it is's hair has hair extensions! No wonder they have breezy hair! Your illustration is sweet and I love the previous glasses one, the hair on thats great too. My other half has breezy hair its so breezy it blew away and now he's blald!!! Ha ha. Have a lovely weekend Jane xxx
Bonjour Vanessa! What a wonderful illustration! Your style is just great, there is not word for it! When I was a kid, I was quite the contrary! I had long thick hair and was dreaming about having very very short hair a la African American top model style! Hope you have a HAPPY weekend! Take care, LuLu
WELL KIDS...if you drink "Nutra Kid"... you can have all that hair and more! hehehehehehe! Great illo! And love the kids with glasses below!
Thanks for checking out my new farm blog! I'm still believing for it...no matter how long it takes! I mean...I've got to get started growing vegetables for your Nutra Kid orders!! You know?
I love this one Vanessa! I was born with wavy hair that had trouble braiding and my daughter has hair thin and straight and will not do anything.. we always want something else and I love that your drawing comes out with it... we can dream can't we? I have a teen who has started coloring her hair and yesterday lamented over her school photo from last year saying"mom do you remember when I was a blonde, I liked my hair better then than now." just last night.. I kid you not! this is a perfect illustration and once again you amaze me! love and happy saturday! Marianne I put up my daughter's latest treasury on my website come see her viewpoint if you can... she wrote a poem..
Hey Vanessa...I don't have my farm yet...so no growing things yet...it's just something I feel God has put in my heart to have...but He will have to provide it!! So I started a blog to step out in faith and claim this desire in my heart...you know? So the pics on there are just what's in my head of what I want....until then, I live in suburbia...so no growing unless it's in pots :)
HA! Boy, do I wish for long, fabulous shampoo-ad-worthy hair. I remember my mom giving my perms in the 80s (my hair is stick straight), and the photos ---- ooooooh, man, are they hideous! But not this little girl. She is already cute as a button. Don't change a thing. Wonderfully fun and wistful illo. But of course. :D
Lol! What's really funny is if she had it like that, she wouldn't want it! Trust me, I know, because the thought of combing my hair or my daughter's send shivers up and down my spine...lol! This is a wonderful illustration! But, really, I didn't expect anything less, from..Ooh La La...:)
ah!! it is my dream too - i am just like the little girl always dreaming of having long black silky hair like the lady you've created here. Nice and beautiful as usual ;p
Vanessa...I love your blog, your artwork...and that frog on your shoulder. I hopped on your follower shoulder. Thanks for stopping by my blog and I sure hope you will participate in Windows to the Words...it would be fantastic to see what you could do with the kids. Also..drop me an E-Mail...I need your permission for "Making Do"
Gosh I know I keep repeating myself, but it is SUCH a pleasure to visit your blog! I can't believe your amazing talent. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your work, I need to get myself a couple of your books!
this is a gorgeous illustration and i love her cute innocent prayers, we're all meant to have faith like a child aren't we? Imagine how much nicer the world would be if people had faith like a child?
Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy life to leave a comment. Please feel free to leave something funny, constructive or encouraging. Thanks again.

ReplyDeleteOh, that's so true. Those shampoo commercials always made me wish for long, shinny and breezy hair! :-)
