Razzle was a stray from Texas. The rescue organization sent her by bus to Connecticut. I've always pictured her taking a Greyhound bus for her big trip. #illustration #comic #dog #drawing
I painted this after reading about Veronika, the Austrian cow who's the first known tool-using bovine. She's been observed using rakes, sticks, and deck brushes to scratch herself. #illustration #cow #inkdrawing #watercolor #pentalic #pentalicaquajournal #aquajournal #aquarelle #penandink

Time for another #KidLitArtPostcard !

I recently visited the Park Art program at Real Art Ways (in Hartford, CT) to do a reading of "All the Birds in the World" and draw some birds (and feathered dinosaurs) with the kids. It sure was fun--thank you Real Art Ways for inviting me!
It's World Ocean Day! #worldoceanday #worldoceansday
