Congratulations on your debut!

Thank you. It’s from a photo of my daughter’s driveway. She has this really cool rock off to the side and I love it.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! #kidlitart I love painting nature, animals, birds and trees. Check out my newly updated website.

I use red light therapy on my horse for a tendon tear and navicular. He loves it. My horse trainer uses it on herself and swears by it. I was going to bring the horse kit home and use it on my neuropathy.

Minnesota authors teach 'How to Draw a Tree' in lovely picture book Two Minnesota Book Award-winners, David LaRochelle and Colleen Muske, provide simple advice on attentiveness and detailed imagery to their educational book for new artists.

A lovely review from Chris Hewitt at the Star Tribune #kidlit #bookreview #picturebooks www.startribune.com/david-laroch...

I’ve been to Ireland but never France…maybe someday. I travel in my imagination often 😁

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I am repped by Kelly Dyksterhouse at the Tobias Literary agency. This is inspired by a photo I took in Italy and I made it into a #kidlitart scene. What’s your favorite place to travel?

You’re welcome?😂

My happy place. Cats and plants.

I think I have lived this moment! 😂

Thank you!

Thanks!!!

Desaturated the front grass. It definitely looks better. #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #picturebookart #picturebookillustration

I did a little update to my image to make the foreground more interesting. Maybe I should desaturate the foreground color a little bit? #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #picturebookart #illustrator #illustration

Thanks! I have a cute story to go with it. I might have to start working on a dummy.

My life’s motto 🐟

I love your moody colors!

Thanks for the repost!
