Illustration Friday: Focused

January 29th, 2010

Close up of a girl focused on fireflies in a jar. I invite you to visit the exhibit “Minnesota Made” at O’Shaughnessy Educational Center http://www.stthomas.edu/arthistory/exhibitions/ , runs until near the end of February. There you can view the whole of this piece, “Northern Lights” along with the works of many other talented artists from the Children’s Book Illustrator Guild. If you are not able to make the trip the complete image of “Northern Lights” can be found in my illustration gallery. http://www.linnelldesign.com/gallery/illustrations

    Lovely luminous illustration. The colors are so rich! It makes me want to be there–or at least immersed in a world where this is the norm.
