Home is Where You Bloom

Home is Where You Bloom

A while back I did a piece that was about home. It was an early piece and though I sold one, it really did not blow up my skirt, as my husband would put it. Because I have always thought of home as a blessing, whether it was the home I grew up in or the home I live in now, I thought to take another shot at it.

Inspired with the feeling that spring is upon us as well as seeing the birds starting to visit the abandoned birdhouse outside my window, this is new illustration I created.

C is for Cal the Curious Carp

C is for Cal the Curious Carp
 Okay, I was looking at the letter C and decided to add yet another one to my collection. My husband laughed at my choice of using a carp for the letter C, but then was pleasantly surprised. 

Cal swims against the current.

B is for Butterfly

B is for Butterfly

This April has had a touch of February in the air. We've been having a cold spell. 
By now I long for warm days and flowers. 
So with all this cold weather, I was inspired to illustrate a new version of the letter B. 

Here is Byron the Beautiful Butterfly on Blue with Blossoms!

A is for Anteater

A is for Anteater

Between getting ready for income taxes and a presentation that I have to do later this month, I have had little time to have fun illustrating. Finally I got a break! 

So here is my newest letter A!
A is for Alvin,
the Audacious Anteater 
holding  African violets 
with his buddy Alex 
the Ant 
illustrated with a Aqua color look 
of course!
