Illustration Friday: FIERCE ... love of nature


This is my illustration for this week's topic FIERCE. I am also using this illustration to participate in Alicia's giveaway.  
The book she illustrated "The Wish Trees" is now available at Amazon, B&N and other major stores and to celebrate she is having a contest (Kudos Alicia!!!). All you have to do is create and send her an image that depicts the importance 
of a tree. She will have her children be the judges... but hurry if you want to participate, the deadline is July 4th! For details visit her blog.

This is a sketch I had originally done for this week's theme and I thought I would have time to color it, but this week is turning out to be a little more family oriented.

    Nicola, Glad you noticed. I didn't want to make it too obvious, but the leaves almost touch the girl too as if it was trying to hug her back.
