Have a wonderful weekend :)

A little peek to my latest illustration

So happy Fall is finally here!

This week I have been spending some fabulous time working on new artwork. There is something magical by been surrounded by brushes, paints and markers, it brings a sense of renewal and inspiration! I love it!

Here is a tiny peek into my latest illustration (still in the works). I hope to have it ready soon so I can share it with you.

Here in Florida we don't see the trees changing their leaves into the glorious Fall palette. Still, I do love driving around town and looking at all of the pumpkins on the porches, Fall decor everywhere....each Sunday I love looking at our Church's front lawn (on a little hill) covered by pumpkins!
