There will always be a special place in my heart for Lovey Bunny-my "first born" picture book. Saw this little sweetheart down at the beach over the weekend. So adorable!
Another Lovey sighting!!!

Road trip and Dad's 80th celebration
Fun weekend in Plymouth! We all got together to ring in my father's big 8-0! And what could be more fun than a ferry over to P-town? lol!!! It was a cool day and rainy but we still managed to have a lot of fun. How can you not have fun with drag queens and art galleries and bars every ten steps? The captain of the ferry made a special announcement on the loudspeaker and so many people in town saw the shirts I made and hugged my dad. So sweet. We got some family photos on a very windy dock and all had our share of amazing seafood. I just adore my dad and it was nice to see him have such a good time.
Sorting through...
So much work goes into making a picture book! This is the first time I am illustrating someone's else's manuscript so I've really enjoyed immersing myself in the art. I've been trekking to the park each day to capture trees and plants for reference. (j'adore my iPhone!) I've also been doing lots of plain air watercolors at my favorite public gardens. All the little details to be planned out--sketches, watercolor bits, color tests, backgrounds, etc. I keep creating while I wait for my editor to review the last dummy. Wondering what will make the book...
