I've been working on illustrations for children's books. These three watercolor illustrations were entered into a competition for narrative illustration with the theme "Silver Linings." My thought was that this little girl found that everything had died (due to fire or drought...) and had the idea to scrub the clouds so that it would rain again. Her insect and feathered friends help out. I actually used real silver foil for the second and third illustrations!

I love having projects to work on, and have written some children's books that are in various stages. This involves character sketches.
