Books and Birds are the theme of this mixed media painting,
In the Library. It's a playful illustration with a fun sketchy quality and a loose folk art style. The painting is created in multiple layers making use of pencils, watercolor, ink and even touches of acrylic paint.
This painting is live
in my shop as a print and on cool items like a greeting card, notebook, tote bag and other decor.
With her bird friends in tow, this girl is searching the shelves, making use of the ladder, and maybe even making a bit of noise.
