This is what I painted today. I'm thinking of creating an extra illustration portfolio for editorial work. I love children's illustration, but I thought I would also like to branch out a bit (excuse the pun). I also spent some time leafing through my Martha Stewart wedding magazines for inspiration for our invitations. I've been a bit daunted about planning for the wedding so I'm starting with something I like to do. The bird illustration is possibly for the invitations.I've also been busy updating my illustration site, www.clairelouisemilne.com. I sent out a lot of self promotions recently and I want people to see an updated site if they visit.
I love this painting--very sweet. Did you announce your engagement already? Congratulations!
