WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

June 10, 2019

In honor of what would have been Maurice Sendak’s 91st birthday, I decided to interpret his beloved classic story, Where the Wild Things Are…

“And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!”  -Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are

Home   watercolor on paper

I just love this illustration, and it certainly has to be in my top favorites. It depicts my favorite season, and it reminds me of my home, so that of course is what I decided to call it!

Many of you that live in the states are most likely homeward bound for celebrating Thanksgiving with friends and family, and so here's to wishing you happy journeys, and a joy-filled time when you arrive at your homes, wherever they may be. Happy Thanksgiving!!

The Family Fox

The Family Fox   11"x14"  watercolor on paper

I just loved creating this for a family who commissioned me. Had the funnest time putting these wonderful personalities into fox men, women and children! You can see their great many interests, and hobbies represented, and I am sending many thanks to them for asking me to create this special house warming gift.

p.s.
The funnest fact about this entire piece? The new owner's last name is Fox!
