Illustration Friday

The word this week is 'journey'. My offering is a watercolour on gessoed mountboard that I painted for Laurel as part of a travelling book exchange, a while back. On the opposite page is Robert Frost's lovely poem 'The Road Not Taken'.

    This is so gorgeous Caroline and I love that poem. I am getting into illustrating poems now too. It is nice to have a lovely picture and some great words or phrases to go with it.

    That Tia is a brave girl isn't she? Fancy that cheeky monkey daring to get into your studio. Luckily it didn't "create" any havoc in there..haha.

    I love that poem (I had to memorize it and recite it in high school--I still remember it!), but I really love your painting. You've captured the feel perfectly. Your work is always so inspirational.

    Beautiful, Caroline, and such an interesting technique, watercolor on gessoed board. It give is a wonderful texture. And your composition complements the poem perfectly!

    great illustration. I always love the look achieved with the gesso underpinnings. I keep promising myself to get back into painting with oils...and this type of work makes me want to get back into it even more...I always say the greatest compliment you can give is when a work makes you want to do something...

    I love this woodland scene Caroline it transports me there totally.
    I'd have been terrified of the monkey! The worst I've had in my room is a bat!

    I recognized the thumbnail right away! I'm so lucky to have the original. I still need to bind my book! I must research how.

    Thanks for posting this beauty, so perfect for IF.
