IF: Tree

"The Juniper Tree" inspired by Brother Grimm story. (ink, oil, colored pencil on a mouse pad)
This is an illustration from a couple years back, but I wanted to be sure I posted this week.  It seems the amount of work I have on my plate is again overflowing.  All good stuff, illustrations for a book, a commission, a small coming show, my full time faculty position, solo parent stuff like flag football, play rehearsal (he got his first speaking part!! he is over the moon excited), and the tenants in my duplex moved out so I am busy prepping that space for rental as well.. I love the topic this week, so I hope to do a new one (I just might get to it) but in the meanwhile I am happy to revisit this one, to make certain I don't miss another IF week!

  1. This is lovely! I really like the rich colors--both the golds in the tree, her skin and hair, and the rivers of blue atmosphere. Good luck with all those things--it sounds a little bit crazy, but good too.

  6. It is a beautiful work, I love the fruits and the sky.
    I have never read the tale before, it is scary, specially the stew part.
