Illustration Friday: Perspective

What's your perspective?
Maybe it depends on which end of the binoculars you're looking through!

A black-and-white version of this image
is now available on my new digital stamp website.

Take a look!

Illustration Friday: Propagate

Propagate: "Transmit from one generation to the next," which is just what this old-world Grandma is doing as she teaches her granddaughter to knit. Maybe the yarn was spun on the spinning wheel sitting behind them.

Apparently I haven't scanned the finished watercolor, so the pencil sketch will have to do for now!

Bluegrass, take two!--with watercolor

 

Here she is, ready to enjoy the music! I'm quite happy with the instruments and the little girl, but the background might need some help.

On my desk: Bluegrass!

 

I was inspired by watching my niece as she wandered through a group of tall guys playing bluegrass, bobbing her head to the music. A quick sketch, the pen-and-ink tracing, and now the partially-finished watercolor is sitting on my desk waiting for the final touches.

Illustration Friday: Adrift

 

The spires of the castle seem to be adrift in a sea of mist, 

and the lights flickering through the windows are obscured.

Illustration Friday: muddy

 

She slipped into the pond; her mother will be glad it wasn't too muddy!

(Personally, I'm still in knee-high snow mode--no mud for another month or two.)

Illustration Friday: Focused

So intent is his observation of the ant hill that he is quite oblivious to his sister--whose attention is focused elsewhere!
