Spring!


Benny & Wild Horse Harry
enjoying Texas Bluebonnets!

For the upcoming May Arkansas SCBWI conference, I'm working on these characters, trying to create a picture book with them...I'll be "pitching" my idea to an art director! So, I thought I'd try an image for "Spring".

OH how sweet is this little illustration. I love animals as characters for stories. I hope that all goes well with your pitch. I can't wait to hear the good news! Great work. It's beautiful!

Good Luck at the conference!! I'm getting my portfolio reviewed at the New England conference at the end of April, and I'm "slightly" nervous (HAH!)

I don't think you have anything to fear though. Benny is a really adorable character: he has charm, and a very cool horse, how can you go wrong!!

Linda my original sketch was about bluebonnets. That's how you know it's spring in Texas. :) Very cute. Nice, soft colors.

This is so sweet. I love the color scheme. I do miss the TX bluebonnets (but a few have emmigrated to CA.)
