New Work: Alone with the Sea



Good morning!  I hope you all had a wonderful mother's day!

To start off the week I wanted to share a new illustration that I have been working on.  For a little while now I have been working on developing my illustrations - my technique etc.  I have been experimenting - there were these illustrations I posted here and here.  And also lots of sketching, thinking etc!  I wanted to bring more atmosphere and texture into my work.


Now I finally feel like I am starting to get to where I want to be with this - which is both exciting and a relief!   I would love to hear your thoughts on it...



I will also be making this available in the shop...finally a new print!!  


ps thank you to Alara for the lovely shout out in the LOLA newsletter and a very warm welcome to my new visitors!  Hope to see you in at LOLA :)

Beautiful illustration. Makes me wonder what the boy is thinking. Love the way you started the sea at his feet. I really like what you did with butterflies illustration too, they are sparkling and magical. Great work for a childsbook!
