Snowy savannah

Winter's come early to the veld this year and the little ones are discovering snow for the first time.
Snow in the savannah would be a strange thing indeed but some things never change...

Snowy deer

Well it's the middle of summer here in Australia, but I did this illustration on returning from America, where it was lovely to have a wintry Christmas (although no snow where we were, unlike the rest of the country)

Happy new year! May 2011 be a year of fun, laughter, and creativity for all of us.

Artist's Choice - Stephanie Ruble

My choice this week was to do a painting of a football playing moose that I had sketched a couple of years ago (and had always wanted to do something with).

Happy New Year!

Winter Activities - Stephanie Ruble

I painted this image at the beginning of the month for the Winter Activities prompt. Then I got an email from Illustration Friday with the prompt for this week, Phenomenon, which I thought also worked for this painting. It would be a big phenomenon if penguins started to ice skate! Maybe they’d even start a penguin Olympics! Okay, probably not. Here’s my penguin skating with his birdie friends:

Winter Wildlife - Stephanie Ruble

I was thinking about a girl starting to make a snowman when I wondered what would happen if a baby polar bear crossed her path.

I'd like to think they might be friends, that is if the mama bear or the girl's mother are not around.

Cold, autumn, winter, brrr etc.

Hi All,

Here is a smattering of wintry goodness. Even though we are heading into summer down here in Australia, these are the winters of childhood-- growing up in Montreal.

This is also my submission for They Draw And Cook's holiday recipe contest.

Hope you like! (the illustration, and the recipe! :)

Let it Snow

I actually got the painting done for Let it Snow ... now for Santa's letter ...

Posey in Color....

I couldn't resist and just had to break out my new Inktense pencils and watercolors to make this illo come alive. Have a good weekend. =)
