Paint Party Friday (Week 44)

CLAIRE LOVES HER TOY ROPE
©2012 Artist: Sheri Cook
6.5 x 4.5 Watercolor and Ink

This week I thought I would share one of my puppy illustrations.
Gotta love puppies! Right?
I recently joined the 12x12in2012 Challenge where artists will
try to create one Picture Book Draft a month for the next twelve
months. I do know that Claire will be one of my stories along the way.
She was and still is just too cute.
