Shirley, I am continually amazed by your ability to consistently create adorable creatures in your style. And I had no idea the hedgehog was common in Ireland! Happy St. Patrick's Day! I better go get some green on.
Next to pigs hedgehogs are my fave creatures Shirley. We often call them hedgepigs and find them rooting around on hot summer's nights. Your drawing is just super cute. Happy St.Patrick's day too. Have a lovely weekend. Jane x
So sweet, I love that blue. Every time I see it I think how much I love it. My daughter has a hedgehog and Myles has never "met" him, but is so obsessed with them. Everything is a hedgehog or a porcupine. He brought in one of those little prickly balls that come from Sycamore trees and said "look, I found a hedgehog"
Your are one of the few illustrators I truly admire. I think the hedgehog looks creepy in real life but you managed to make it look adorable. The print of the three bears on a life boat is soooooo adorable on your business card. gosh Shirley, you are truly a classic watercolorist. Your technique is perfect. It is both pleasant and pleasing to children and adults alike. My daughter appreciated every image she saw in your card and at one point mentioned something that sounded like this "Mom, can you do this?" I humbly replied "No." But I have a great consolation. You are my friend and I am yours. Thank you!!! Tsup!!!
Hope you had a blessed St. Patty’s day Shirley! I’m loving your Hedgehogs!... and I didn’t know that they were found in Ireland! Hmmmm ...learn something new every day :o)
This is so adorable Shirley...love the cute lil drawing by the lil hedgehog. The info abt hedgehog is new to me. Thanks for sharing and hope you had a wonderful St. Patrick's day!
Popping in again to see what you've been up to. I love your characters. You always bring such life into them with that brush! Have a great week and weekend!
Oh don't you just love adorable Irish Hedghogs? Well I do now that I have seen your drawing of them :) Oh boy, this sings because of the way the mum and the child are looking at each other, the facial expressions again make me all gooey and clucky (which is dangerous) , But seriously, you've captured the moment here. Happy Belated Saint Patrick's Say! :)

ReplyDeletecorrection: own unique style . . . the comment was meant as a complement. I reread it and realized I should have phrased it a bit better.
