I had a chance at the end of last year to revisit my
"Turtlehouse" character in a new illustration. This piece accompanied a Langston Hughes poem in a children's magazine:

Looking at it now, I notice the original is a bit dimmer than I'd like it to be (it's displaying a little higher contrast here than it is in real life). Even though it's a twilight rain scene, I think I should have added some moonlight-esque highlights to the characters to make them pop a little more. But that aside, I'm pretty content with the design and I like the characters.
The
original painting is available in my
etsy shop. Oh - and also, I had mentioned in a previous post that my
"Ducklings on the Move" painting would soon be available - it's now listed at my
shop as well.
