When I make little scenes up in my illustrations and paintings I will often place children in them I know. Even to not know the child can evoke a feeling of wonderment just by watching their mannerisms. A coy look from the corner of an eye, light dancing across a frilly dress or the look …
Do you ever want to run away and feel the safety and calm of that secret place. As always I let my mind run a bit coming up with this artwork; that’s why I love illustration as I get to make up stories.
I think my ideas for the composition of placing zebras and goldfish in a layout is starting to work. Will be finished soon, stay tuned. I am loving working with animals in my work. Have the bestest Monday.
