Hi #kidlitartpostcard 🤩

Has anyone caught the Perseid Meteor Shower? If you have a clear night, go spend some time star-gazing!

While walking through a forest, my youngest discovered a moss-covered fallen tree that resembled a dog. Moss dog! 🐾🌲

Life got in the way of me finishing this illustration in time for #kidLitArtPostcard Day yesterday, but I still wanted to post it! Can't wait for sunny days in my garden, like in this 'lil mole garden. 🌼

I think I have a better outcome to a final piece when my sketches are more detailed and I've thought everything out. I tend to just jot down notes for color or general "vibe" ideas. This is a recent sketch/final of mine.
