This week yielded some fun color acrylic sketches that exhibit color scripting for story. I haven’t played with acrylics in forever and it was pretty fun! #kidlitathu #kidlitartist @hollinschildrenslit #scbwiillustrator #childrensbookillustration #kidlitillustration
“Hello, Earth”, acrylic and charcoal on canvas 16x20. A quick acrylic paint today. I haven’t gotten my hands dirty in a long time with acrylics and forgot how easy it is to build up with it. 💚 #kidlitart #scbwiillustrator #scbwi #childrenbooksillustrators #acrylic

I had a pond with an island behind our house growing up, and summer evenings, the frogs would start their song. Peepers, bullfrogs, and love “rib-bits” echo in my memories…I’ve drawn frogs a lot thru the years, fairytales are full of lovely frogs. #frogart #kidlitart #childrensillistration #scbwi
Who is my favorite…? Even though I love them all…the Tin Woodman is the one who always makes it to my demos over the years…. Heart ❤️is how I tend to lead my life…(wow has my style changed) #oz #kidlitart #scbwi #wizardofoz #childrensbooks

Hehee….Soooo….my darling husband did a master copy demonstration me as a pin-up painting by the great Gil Elvgren (while then real me is in sweatpants & sneakers 99% of the time— I’m a lucky wife that he wears rose colored glasses 😍❤️) #pinup #gilelvgren #oilportrait #portrait
A couple of weeks ago, Mike drove out to Oklahoma for this portrait dedication. I would love if we made some connections here in the Southeastern part of the US — www.mikewimmerportraits.com #oilportraits #professionalportraits #portraitartist #executiveportraits #judicialportraits
