Hope you're all doing well! June has been busy but good... I just wanted
to add a few images here of recent projects. I'm thrilled to see "I See
My Colors" at the readinga-z.com website. I had such a great time
working on this project..the clients were wonderful!

Coming soon in the Fall is another book titled "These Shoes Are" and I'll post more images from that once it's published...for now, here is one of the funnier images I enjoyed painting. Boy those shoes are BIG! : )
I had the pleasure of illustrating this illustration for a sweet child's birthday
...happy birthday little one!
and lastly, here is a wee snippet of an upcoming illustration celebrating a city that I'd love to visit..

ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you're keeping busy! Your children are always so joyful and adorable. Totally love those fancy shoes. I do have a slight preference for the super cute animals like little puppy in the balloon, oh my gosh! And that pig! Haha! That face is priceless. Wonderful! Always wonderful to see what you're up to!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's a good thing to be busy if you are doing beautiful illustrations like these ones Shirley.
ReplyDelete"I see my colors" are wonderful, specially when they see gold!
And those shoes are so cool I think the boy doesn't mind they are too big :)
These are all so sweet! I especially love the royal piggy!!
ReplyDeleteOh Dear Shirley, these are wonderful. Your talent is just going from strength t o strength. It's so exciting to see your work up in the bright lights where it belongs.
ReplyDeleteSalute!!! :)
Shirley, you're Benitez,really? so I think somewhere in your body have that spirit of Spanish, Latin, which somehow makes me imagining you with a smile on your face with all the Spanish sun, I dunno, a drop of Spanish blood runs in your veins,I'm sure! do you know how I can see it?, in the colors you use on your own art, truth, trust me
ReplyDeletehey how did you know that today is the Independence day of my country?
It does not matter, anyway, thank you very much, 196 years of independence (some less than U.S., haha) :)
Thanks for stopping by, you're always very nice to me!
have a good week! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
