Children's Book Illustrations

I was cleaning the basement this summer and found a box of old children's books from when I was a kid. Going through them brought back many memories. I was reminded of how enchanted I was with the illustrations in some of the books. They were magical to me and I think most of the time more important than the actual story. I think it was these experiences that inspired me to become an artist. I thought I would share some of my favorites.

I'm hoping my niece will enjoy them as much as I have.

Summer Tease

This warm weather we've been having has made me want to start my gardening. I am dreaming about plants right now.

The top three photos are taken at Frederick Meijer Gardens last summer which I wrote about here. The rest are taken in my back yard.

Here are some photos of the installed exhibition:
