it is the creatures that paint the leaves into fall colors. I am glad you like this painting. Many kids tell me that "this is my favorite painting" in the Β book.

Yes I understood that after a moment. It was just the feeling I got on first quick glance. It's great that kids love it too!Β

This is one of those images that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. An image that tells a whole story. A very nice surprise for today
You have a very nice painting style, one that is warm and affectionate(i viewed your other paintings as well.
Nice one, mate.

Indirectly In reply to mattwatier [2007-06-17 16:37:59 +0000 UTC]

I love it for the colours, the composition, the lighting - but mostly I love it because of the bucket of paint and the little footprints and the shadow of the tiny painter. I love the idea of fairies or gnomes running around each fall and painting each leaf individually. There's something so charming and beautiful - the attention to detail, like every single leaf is worth this individual attention. ^^ It's so rare to run into a real fairy story these days. There's so much science behind the magic. Not that I don't like science, but... well I hope you understand what I mean.

I totally do. I had a lot of fun writing designing, and painting this book. I hope it shows and I hope it convinces the publisher too. I really want to see this one on book shelves so people can enjoy it.

Sorry about the size I didn't want people printing it. Actually I need to cut them down so they are not reproducible from here on out. Now that I have sent this book off to the publisher and I have gotten all the critics that I am going to get from people at DA; I need to make the paintings and pages just place holders from here on out. DA was a great tool to getting editing, comments, and flushing out problem areas on the layout. But I am glad you like the story I hope to hear from the publisher soon about them accepting the book.
