The Letter P for Peas in a Pod

P is for Peas in a Pod

Here is a new P to add to my collection of illustrated letters.

P is not just for Peas in a Pod, 

but a Pink Papillon, 

as the French would might call a butterfly,

on a yellow Paisley Paper.

I might add the ladybugs are Precious!

I do hope this is Perfect for some People!

E is for Evergreen & Elf

E is for Elf & Evergreen

Here is my new version adding an elusive elf with an envelope filled with an epistle 

of everlasting love.

The bird's name is Edward.

The elf's name is Echo.

 

 I had decided to do another version of my E for Evergreen. The original below had a red cardinal with red berries which looked rather seasonal. 

 

I think I am liking this new version. I hope it pleases you as well.

The Letter A is for Arbor

The Letter A

I have been thinking of adding vowels for my letter series. With summer around the bend, the trees are lush and green, and flowers are in bloom everywhere. Garden centers are a buzz with not just flowers but garden decor. So being in a summer mood, a garden ARBOR came as an inspiration for the letter A.

Seeing Tulips!

Yippee! Spring is Here!

From the bleakness of a long Cleveland winter I am thrilled to finally see my tulips make their appearance. So of course, I had to do an illustration of tulips to celebrate their long awaited arrival.

The Letter R for Rabbit

The Letter R

The last time I did the letter R is was around Valentine's Day and I connected it to looking for Mr. Right with the R as a superhero. Maybe because it is shortly after Easter or that I am born in the year of the Rabbit you see this cute rabbit before you evolving out of the letter R.
