Illustration Friday

Topic: flying
“He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand
and walk and run and climb and dance;
one cannot fly into flying.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

This is the first time I've submitted to Illustration Friday even though I've enjoyed browsing their site for years. 'Bout time!

First Day on the Blog

(this pastel is not from the attic or done lately...
just something from a long time ago to kick off this blog)

Welcome.

This is a new place for me to get out of the attic and show what I've been working on lately. I'm an English (as a second language) teacher/graphic designer/painter in France. I'm also an aspiring children's book author/illustrator. (That's a lot of slashes...)

This blog is for my illustrations. Please stop by and take a look at the work I post (studies, sketches and finished paintings). I'd love to read your comments and I'm sure that any feedback on my work will only help to improve it.
Thanks!
Dana
