Illustration Friday


watercolour and ink with collage © Caroline Soer 2010



"If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come". Chinese proverb


This week the Illustration Friday prompt is 'Proverb'. Been a bit busy lately so rooted through the archives and found something I made for a postcard exchange a few months back. I created this with watercolour, ink and collaged papers. If you're interested, you can view the postcards I made here.

  6. Oh, Caroline! I'm in a daze from going over all your works from the summer. True artistic beauty in everything you create! Yes, even the donkey (which I could NOT see anything wrong with, by the way! He was great!) I wanted to eat the desserts and the cookies. And the paper pear! OMG! I love, love, love that!

    I also enjoyed relaxing in your beautiful garden with your regal kitties. The flowers are gorgeous. And how exciting and entertaining it must be to have monkey visitors!

    So good to see you again!

  13. Hi Caroline. Love all the IF illustrations, even the poor derided donkey one. It looks wonderful to me. I think you are too critical of yourself. You are so talented with watercolour which is something I find really tricky. I stopped by for a peek at the postcards and the cat smelling the roses is just gorgeous. Have a great week.
