I was so satisfied to put the final touches on this painting— the first finished piece of 2014! I started it before Baby came, and its the first work I’ve completed for the little story I’m hoping to illustrate and publish. As you can tell, there’s a definite Swedish vibe to it 🙂 I like how it came out!
This is going to be a big project for 2014! And I’d love for you to come along with me as I work on it (wont be so lonely that way, right?) Its my hope that it will be a story that both children and adults will like, and that the paintings will do the story justice as well.
Painting one completed! Many more to go! 😀
And also— Happy Valentine’s Day!

I do like this first illustration a lot! The swedish theme is perfect for hearts and snowflakes. Count me in on the new book journey. It will not only be fun but an honor to tag along with an artist as she creates on paper ( or wood) what is pushing forth from her mind and heart. How often does anyone get such an invite? As we wind through the months of 2014, it will be quite an adventure viewing the story from your illustrations and guessing as we go as to what the story actually tells
