finally here
It’s official! I’ve finished the painting! This was my second two-page spread illustration for The Girlhood Home Companion. It is a scene of a mom and four daughters working in the kitchen, making pumpkin pies and gingerbread people.
I ended up adding a border all around the outside edge so I could more easily pull in a fall color scheme. This was one of the trickiest paintings I’ve worked on so far because cabinetry was involved!

she really wanted to help make the gingerbread men!

Once it was all done (what a moment of satisfied realization that was!), I took a picture of it and Emily fixed the coloring in LightRoom. The original looks so dull compared to the final edit we settled on. I hope Mrs. Novak likes it!

I will get back to posting more lessons soon!

Great painting as always Breezy! I esp. liek this one because I love cooking with my 3 daughters (and occasionally 2 sons, too!) I don't the story behind this picture but it would be so cute to stick a small boy in the background sticking a finger in the mixing bowl to sneak a taste.
Have a wonderful week!

I LOVE your Girlhood illustration spreads! They enrich the design perfectly.
Can't wait to see your next one…
