Great suggestion, Kathleen! As soon as I read that, this illo came to mind. This was one of the very first illustrations I'd ever done, way back when I was wondering and learning all about this business and hoping someday I might have some kind of CLUE what it's all about! I call it "Toy Parade" and it's entirely colored pencil. On a side note, I am now *celebrating* not only because I'm one hour into my 10 day long spring break (woo hoo!), but because I'm mailing out my 20+ paintings for my book to the publisher TONIGHT! Yup, she's done! 7 months of long hours and hard work but every single brush stroke was beyond worth it! So April is most certainly the month to CELEBRATE!! :) -Gina

Gina, I like the little guy leading the parade. It reminds me of my babysitting days for some reason. It's a fun illustration. And congratulations on your book, I look forward to seeing it in print. I'm so happy for you. I eagerly look forward to the day it happens to me. (Smiles)

Ha! Too funny! Love the elephant blowing the horn and the noise flowing from it. Great colors!
