Having the opportunity to illustrate Karen's beautiful love story was a dream come true for me.

Gorgeous Patrice, absolutely gorgeous!!

Hi Michelle! Thank you so much!!

Oh how lovely! What is your technique/medium used?

Thanks so much, Kristi! The illustrations are pencil sketches painted digitally using Corel Painter.

The new book looks lovely, Patrice. I just received my copy of The Naming of Tishkin Silk today!

Thank you! Oh, you are going to love Tishkin! Glenda Millard's stories are quiet and powerful at the same time. She's amazing!

Looks terrific, Patty! Can't wait to get my copy either. Congratulations! xo

Thank you Alicia and Roz! Thanks also for your support last summer when I was working away on the art. :)

I was so surprised when it arrived. I thought it was a package of books I had ordered from Amazon, which is always fun to open, but when I found The Looking Book there instead - what a treat!

What a wonderful style you have! Can't wait to see the book in the fall. Congratulations!!

congratulations!! This book looks adorable! :D

Congrats Patrice! I can't wait to LOOK inside in person!

OOOh this is the real treat! I LOVE IT!!!! he he he he. This is all too cute. You just want to eat all of them up!. I have always loved and I do mean loved your illustration! They go straight to my heart! I find it amazing how you take such care in doing pencil lines to create the piece (like bones) and then manage so carefully and loving to dress them with beautiful soft watercolors. It's so dreamy and delicious! I'm in totally awe! Great work!

brilliant! Really wonderful! AND wow! and it's only a warm up??

Thanks so much, Steph! Yes, he's a little warm up sketch. Sometimes you get lucky! :)

ah! he's perfect!

Hello, my name is Jeanette and I attend Ringling College of Art and Design as an illustration major. Would it be possible to interview you for a class of mine? Please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks =)

Thank you sweet Patty! :o)

Dani has done great things with my text. I usually see things in terms of line, but her use of color is magnificent.

I should also note that, though I am a big-time dog lover, adding the dog was Dani's idea, and a very charming one at that.

Hi J.D., Congratulations on your wonderful book! I agree, Dani"s work is magnificent! Her rich palette and warm humor are a perfect match for your story.
