My critique group had a monthly theme that we used as a creative springboard for April.
April's theme was growth. Here we have this little guy who gave up one of his acorns in hope of a future full of his favorite treats. Of course, nothing wrong with trying to give Mother Nature a hand.
Other Picture Book Junkies who did a little growing last month:
Roz, Janee, Patrice, Laura & Paige.
And even little PBJ's are sprouting: Emily. (Roz's daughter)
Beautiful work, Heather!! The color is jewel-like. I'm glad you're carving again!

This is just beautiful, Heather! What a mysterious atmosphere - and palpable. I feel like I'm there.
