I'm loving this illo, especially the background cityscape. It's all fun and loose with yummy colors. I also dig the Scholastic illo- I was looking to see if you drew yourself in there- reading a book. Your watercolor illos are cool too. I like the way you did the hair on the illo with the 3 kids- very nice. Have a great Sunday...Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596792803470956342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4382365136073900131.post-29567052534410300942009-03-05T22:12:00.000-05:002009-03-05T22:12:00.000-05:00Hey!

This is absolutely marvelous. Love the kid riding on his dad's shoulders. And all the buildings in that happy reading city! Yay!<BR/><BR/>It's a shame good programs like this have to be cut. At our school, there were boxes and boxes of old children's books that they just could not sell at the fundraiser. Most of them were several decades old, but still lovely stories and illustrations. I nabbed many myself, but in the end, they didn't know what to do with them all. They tried to donate them, but the cost of shipping was too expensive. They eventually got a third party vendor to take them away. I wish there were easier ways to get free books to kids who need them.<BR/><BR/>I'm reading about the awful snowstorm that hit the east coast. Brrrrrr. Hope you're nice and toasty with that Ooh La La hot cocoa. :)Bella Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139728758198482234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4382365136073900131.post-58410596688677319412009-03-02T16:10:00.000-05:002009-03-02T16:10:00.000-05:00You create such beautiful artwork, Vanessa.
