I finished some work for a magazine and wanted to post some of the pieces here. I’m very happy with the results! I LOVE the way the watercolor came out. I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of watercolor.
And the young man in the picture came out a lot like my friend, D! Um…sorry, D, I was told to make the caregiver young & fun, so I thought of you!
Also, I just finished reading Grace Lin’s Year of the Dog, and put the little girl on the right with her very own “Year of the Dog” tee shirt as a tribute to Grace’s wonderful novel.
