Illustration Friday "Plain"

9x12
watercolour

I tried a large response to Illustration Friday this time. It was really different, seemed to give it a different weight. Laughingly, I still managed to cut off Annika's feet! This is the first time I've painted her. It was really neat to be giving her more dimension.

(Amy - I sketched this before I listened to your last podcast, so I didn't know you were on a bird-acceptance path. But I did think of you every time I worked on the bird.)

You've outdone yourself here, Poppins! Wow! Seeing Annika go from line drawing to full color and dimension... oh... it's stunning. And... the bird! Wow, wow, wow! This is amazing, Sarah.

This is very well done. :) If it weren't for the bird it would be so lonely.

It's interesting that you mention that, Mrs. Pivec. I sketched out everything else first and it was so lonely, so plain, that it was beyond mournful. A little wooden figure reaching plaintively in the open prairie...Yikes. The bird needed to be there!
