Well done- the figure is captured with a few strokes.

Thank you, Sanlynn!

There is so much to think about with this one. The contrasts between pattern/flat colour/texture make me wonder. The story seems disturbing. The blank expression on the "dad" and emotion of the toddler are really effective. Showing the wood of the panel is also a design choice that gives some...

Thanks for the encouragement, Grapes, Christine, Ayin and Donna! I wish that we were meeting weekly because that is my favourite- but I take what I can get!
