Winter bunnies and floral wreaths are swimming in my head!
P.S. All ducks should have the option of a green spotted head scarf for blustery days…
Batter Up
“Batter Up”
I probably would watch sports if it looked anything like this…
I See the Moon
I See the Moon watercolor on paper
Stargazing is her favorite hobby.
It's Only a Paper Moon
Paper Moon watercolor on paper
'It is only a paper moon
Hanging over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make believe
If you believe in me...' -Nat King Cole, It's Only a Paper Moon
Spring Has Sprung
Spring Has Sprung watercolor on paper
Thoughts of spring are blooming in my mind, and it has already sprung up in my heart. Something tells me that the Easter Bunny might just like a fancy little smock, so I painted one for her and handed her a bouquet.
Father Time
Father Time watercolor on paper
Walking through the ages, holding time tenderly in the crook of his arm. Father Time himself has been on my mind a bit, seeing as we have left one year and gone into another, but it is true that he walks amoung us every calendar day of our lives. You may or may not know this, but Father Time is also a friend to Mother Nature, so I put some little woodland friends in there as well!
Happy Twenty-Eighteen, hoping it's off to a lovely beginning for you!

Be Cool Stay in School
Be Cool Stay in School 14"x16"
Something I created for my agency's promotional theme of "Take Your Pet to School". If we all only had a giant, helpful rabbit who helped us with the heavy lifting so we could have a free hand for yo-yo-ing! This kid is super cool, and he knows it!
(p.s. His glasses are my favorite part about his outfit, hands down.)
Sneaky Peeks: Part 2
A Rabbit + a book + vintage spectacles = One happy illustrator

Just a rabbit in his garden, defending it from thieving crows.

The Animal's Picnic
The Animal's Picnic 12"x12" watercolor on paper
Summer get-togethers are the funnest, and this bunch has gathered 'round a mushroom cap for a feast of corn and ripe watermelon. Good things are always made that much better with friends. I hope your summer looks something like this (but if you are keeping company with a sweet little otter dressed in retro attire, please let me know, I'd love to tag along!)
Happy Summer!

I was very honored to be approached by a Taiwanese magazine that circulates through the educational system, featuring art and inspiring people, places and things to inspire a future generation!
Hard-Boiled Eggs & Soft Blooms
Boiled eggs emerging from a metal pot, and sinking down into lovely hues of tinted vinegar. It is Easter-Eve for certain.
Oh, how I love this time of year! Every time spring rolls around, I fall that much more in love with it. I fashioned these two painted shells after old delftware and blue china patterns of yesteryear. And of course, I come by my love of daffodils naturally, they were my Grandmother's favorite flower. I can absolutely see why.
Happy Easter, my little rabbits!
Farmer O'Hare
Farmer O'Hare 12"x10" watercolor on paper

I've fallen in love with these two characters, and I can guarantee that you will be seeing a lot more of them in my coming work!

Sharing a few bunny thoughts before Easter. Feeling very spring-y this week.

The Magical Story Hour
The Magical Story Hour 12"x12" watercolor & ink on paper
After building their new friend, the following day the children returned to enjoy his company again. And they all settled down for a quiet and magical story hour with their new friend. Everyone is hoping to have their favorite book read aloud, even the animals (the birds are carrying their favorite in the air!) What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon!
Thinking of teaching my own snow sculptures the handy trick of reading a-loud from favorite books.
