Very jealous of your watercolor skills! haha! Just curious as to what kind of watercolors you use (cake, tube, or liquid) and maybe brand? And do you use masking solution often? Thanks! ^_^

Shirley this is awesome! I really like the way you think!!!! It's just so uplifting and positive! Great composition and color too. I love the fall look and feel of the illustration. I would to see this as a reading poster for a school or Library! You nailed it perfectly. I can't wait to speak to you. I've been running around everywhere this week. I've got a lot on my plate, but since you have already called me I am going to call you he he he! Between today and tomorrow for sure. Looking forward to chatting with you my friend. V
