8 Days of Hanukkah

Tonight begins the 8 days of Hanukkah.

To celebrate, I'm posting one of my illustrations from Rainbow Candles,  A Hanukkah Counting Book.
Happy Hanukkah!

Flamingo Christmas

Highlights Illustrators' Party 2011

I am trying to get back to studio work after a wonderful weekend in Honesdale, PA.
