Books, children, and a book for children

For some reason I couldn't make myself blog these last weeks - just plain didn't want to do it...
So a quick post while I'm in the mood : )!


A wonderful Binchy novel on the left. I love all of her books, this one is one of my favorites. The marvellous twins Maud and Simon are in it, and they're so funny and adorable, I'd love to know them in real life!
On the right a very pleasant read, full of charm and fantasy, poetic ideas, feel good ending. Just what I needed!
These two drawings are vignettes from my illustrated album project. I'm about halfway through for the drawings. The coloring is way behind. And for the moment I have no idea how I'm going to add the texts...
And of course, a lot of drawings will have to be redone. Anyway, I'm still enjoying doing it, and learning from it. It's the first time I really commit to something long, structured, related to drawing/art making, and that in itself is interesting, whatever result I get in the end.

I LOVE Maud and Simon! I keep hoping she will write a book with them as the principal characters. Nice paintings--thanks for sharing.
