Illustration Friday: Blanket
This is not a new piece but I have missed taking part and this illustration fits the topic so well. This was the first spread that I painted for my first picture book called Claire and the Unicorn. I was so nervous, so worried about not doing well enough, that I almost didn't enjoy painting this. I had a hard time working on it and it went through a lot of changes. Claire seems happy though and looks blissfully unaware of the effort it took to tuck her under that cozy blanket :)Claire and the Unicorn
I find that the paintings that I struggle with the most end up being my favourites, so it is always worth it.
Hope to join in next Friday with something new.

Sometimes I get nice surprises in the mail!
I had no idea that this was translated into Spanish and German, until I received my copies in the mail. What fun - and interesting to see the changes that get made, slightly different layout with some of the endpapers and a different cover for the German book.Spanish edition
German edition
All together

Wonderful - you can even carry it around with you! How sweet.
How cute to see all this fun stuff made with your illustrations!
I just (happily!) discovered your blog through NeedleBook. I also freelance in Montreal, but as a writer (and have my first book -- for preteen girls -- coming out this fall). I'm adding your blog to my favourites list. :)
