Here is the cover for my new book, just out last month. This pop-up book was a whole new experience for me. Imagine all the interior art, many separate pieces like a puzzle. The technology in the construction is mind boggling to me. The author and pop-up engineer, Kyle Olmon, is a total wiz...and a really great to work with....and SO patient with me!

I used acrylics for this book, which gives the illustrations a very rich look to the color. I did get a bit washy in the background and sometimes used watercolors for the washes. What a fun time I had painting this old classic!

I started this while on vacation in Maine. It is watercolor on a pre-primed board. The trick is knowing when to stop...more stages coming...probably...maybe not...what do you think?

Betsy!

This is a sneak peek at the cover and an interior piece for a new picture book I just finished for Harper Collins. I love working in that fast watercolor style. The ink line is with a ratty old brush that is very hard to control, and that makes some exciting results...

This is my new book published by Holiday House, "ONE TRACTOR" written by Alexandra Siy. My scanner bed is too small to fit my name on the bottom of the cover, but I really am the illustrator.
This book was so fun to work on, thanks to the freedom allowed me by my editor. A wild band of tiny pirates and a flying mouse join a little a little boy and his toys in this counting book.
Here is the cover, an interior page, and a detail of one of my favorite alter egos....
