Welcome to my Illustration/Painting Art Blog!
These are character pencil sketches for A picture book that I worked on for an
SCBWI-IL Illustrator’s workshop.
Happy New Year!
I started this illustration at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, it’s from their African Exhibit. I was with my SCBWI Illustrators group. We all spread out in different parts of the zoo, did some work and then came together again at lunch to look at each others art! It was a great art morning and the meerkats were super models! And so were the beautiful small blue birds…Later in the year, around November I dropped in the starry sky.

Lovely work, makes me want to do watercolors.
Hi Judy, Thanks for taking a look, I have classes starting again in Sept., if you’re in the area.
Michelle,
I’m so glad to have found you on the web. I love the illusration of the giraffe and the goose in winter. It makes me wish I could write a children’s book, just to have you do the illustrations. I have no website, but if you go to my facebook page and check out the photo albums marked “Quilts” and “Quilts II” you will see some examples of the quilting work I havre done in the past five or six years. Be well. Allison
