WELCOME

A Halloween welcome from the neighbors, complete with pumpkin pie. Looks like someone doesn't want to share the spotlight. Illustration for magazine STORIES FOR CHILDREN.

POPSICLES

Wet and slurpy, this summer treat has been around for decades. It never loses it's attraction of taste and color. The desire for this sugary treat can only be described as "craving" this weeks theme.

POISE

Whether Tango or Foxtrot, Mango and Lime make a delicious couple. From a children's story illustration. Enjoy!

SUBTRACT

The fairies are finishing their lessons seated at their tiny toadstools and the teacher is subtracting the minutes on her miniscule watch. It's a timed quiz of course from a story published by STORIES FOR CHILDREN. Enjoy!

INSTINCT

There's nothing like forest life to bring an animal's instinct to life. From a watercolor children's magazine illustration. The look of English countryside is a favorite theme of mine. Enjoy!

CONTAINED

All secure in their stalls, ready for their fodder to be dropped to them, the little girl earns her chance to ride. From illustration for STORIES FOR CHILDREN online magazine, a favorite theme of mine. Enjoy!

CLANDESTINE

Inspired by a story of three cats contemplating the loss of a fellow cat. Watercolor with some PS enhancement. A definite favorite of mine and their secret moonlight meeting seems to fit the description of "clandestine". Enjoy!
