Love is in the Air...version 2.0!

At the request of my sweet friend Joshua (who I've known since childhood), I re-created one of my most popular illustrations to feature him with his fiancé and their golden retrievers! The couple loves Paris and their dogs, so this fits them perfectly! This is one of the first times I've really re-done a piece of artwork, and it was a fun challenge to recreate the original as closely as possible while making specific changes. Here's wishing Joshua and Christopher many years of happiness!

Happy holidays, all!

Illustration Friday Topic: "Linked"

For several years, I've enjoyed looking at each week's topics and artwork on Illustration Friday (www.illustrationfriday.com). This week, I felt the theme was very appropriately related to a favorite piece of mine, "Love is in the Air." The beautiful Spring weather outside also reminds me of this illustration!

Love is in the Air!

Here is my latest piece! This was created for an assignment in which I was challenged to illustrate the concept of "love." I chose to take a slightly more narrative approach, one that could tie into the children's book concept that I've been developing and adding on to for a couple of years....and this was the result. Essentially, I combined my love of Paris and daschunds into one image. Prints are now available in the shop!
