It sounds like a classic fairytale, doesn’t it? Well, maybe not, but here it is:

At first this girl was going to be sad and looking at her hand, but when I drew her mouth it looked like more of a smile. The rest of the scene naturally followed.

My Grandma labeled almost every photo she ever put in an album, so I flipped the picture over and read my Grandma’s words: #15 Squirrel Feb 1981 Back Yard.

I posted this work in progress back in April and although I have added color, I am still not sure about it…

Maybe I should have left the room white?

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be happy to hear them!
