~Racing To Rabbit Moon~
This is the only racing Greyhounds should have to do.
Race free and happy in fields and beaches, or like this chap, racing in his dreams.
I'm trying to get back in touch with my children's book style because of a book I'm about to begin.
I have to admit this was crazy fun to paint this today!
Watercolor, graphite and gouache
For Illustration Friday: Racing

Love that you used the Rabbit Moon. I did a piece on that theme---very oriental looking, lots of collaged papers and then the moon and rabbit in a glittery white something or other paper.
Very nice!!!! :)
XXOO~~♥

That's a good dreamy capture of a geryhound. Looks much like my Jack.
I really like the long shadows from the houses. Beautiful color scheme!
What a lovely and thoughtful piece! I agree whole heartedly with your sentiments, Laurel!
Very dreamy! I like how you portrayed the moon.
I see that rabbit curled up in the moon; and I hope the dog doesn't hurt it. I like the shadows coming off the houses in the moons glow.
I can barely read the teeny text below though...hope you'll not do that again. (help for old(ER) eyes.
thanks.
Lo, What a wonderful image and I agree, only fun racing for the hounds. How exciting you are writing a children's book! I have one in me too if I every have the time. xoxo
This is a lovely image and it calls forth stories.

If I did not have my chihuahua, I would have a greyhound! This is such a great painting for a childrens book! I love the idea of the dog racing in his dreams! :)
i love greyhounds. i had a greyhound friend named chad a while back, and to watch him run in the fields was something to below. not to mention that my rosie, an english springer spaniel, could run even faster because she could turn corners so exquisitely!
can't wait for the germation of this book to become a seedling, lo. it will be superfabulous.
ps i love anything you paint blue. you paint the best blues known to humankind :) & xoxo
I love your children's book style. It's beautiful. Can't wait to see what you will be doing bookwise - that's so exciting!
This full moon had my heart racing this week. It felt like this greyhound looks. happy and free.
exciting that you are beginning another book. such a lovely, blue illustration. dog racing: horrifying.
I adore greyhounds and whippets - such elegant, beautiful hounds! This is so lovely and I'm looking forward to seeing more in this style!x
Dear "Goddess of All Blue Magical Things".... a haunting painting...I am thrilled you are going to create another Children's Book... you have the words, the imagination and the talent to do this. Think of all the new generations of youngsters who will be able to share in your world!
WONDERFUL!
Love,

I have not been here for awhile and I am glad I stopped by to check your art out again. This piece has nice fluidity and a great softness. Great work.
I totally aree with you!It's magical:)

I visit you here and feel and feel a wash of serenity layer itself gently over me....Ahhhh!
You are so special!
Wonderful piece!

Great comp on this...really like how the shadows on the house contrast with all the curves...
