Illustration Friday: Tropical

I like illustrations with flowers that are large in proportion to the characters, so I was happy about this hibiscus with my little bluebirds.

I was trying to capture the cozy feeling of being inside with hot drinks on a snowy day. I didn't really figure out how to make good snow with my colored pencils, though I think the interior has some of the feeling of snowlight, that soft white light that diffuses everything when snow covers the ground and more snow is falling.

  2. I want to be in this kitchen! A lovely drawing. Would love to see a book of them. Wallpaper and curtains beautiful and delicate. And your color has many layers. The perch stools are clever:-).

  3. And the red hibiscus is just what is needed to make winter seem like spring. The size is perfect and adds whimsy to the drawing.

  4. Thank you, Aunt Deanna. I love that you want to be there. That's one of the things I wanted to happen with this picture. Maybe someday there will be a book. I'm trying to get there!
