Cultivate your dreams

Cultivate your dreams Cultivate your dreams

Cultivate is the theme of this week on IF. Funny thing, I began doing this illustration early on this week. I knew I wanted to illustrate about ideas, dreams we have, projects that are in our head but  mostly in our heart. Sooo important to cultivate our dreams. One of the dreams that grow in my head is… to make a children book (make = write, illustrate and have it publish). It’s in the first pages of my dream-book. And I think the dandelion will soon fly…

——-

Cultiver. Voilà le thème de IF (Illustration Friday) de cette semaine. Étrangement j’avais déjà commencé cette illustration en début de semaine. Quelque chose qui représenterait les idées, les rêves qui habitent notre tête mais surtout notre coeur. Et un de ces rêves c’est de faire un livre pour enfant. Dois-je préciser… faire = écrire, illustrer et … publier. Je crois que le moment est venu… le pissenlit a été bien cultivé… l’aigrette peu s’envoler.

    I like the black dandelions and hair. Also the wispy quality of her hair, very nice, and those cute pink cheeks.

    I have a character called the Dandelion King. I call my wild-haired son the Dandelion Prince. I love dandelions.

    My goal this year is to get a childrens book done too.

    I like this girls big bow and wispy hair. The muted green, white and black go really well together. The shifty, ponderous eyes are great too.

    Good luck with your dream!

    I agree completely with your thoughts about cultivating dreams. I like the way you used the dandelion fluff in the picture.

    Ooooooh wow! This is beautiful! Love the swirling movement in her hair. I can feel the wind! Love her eyes and the book of dreams… Heck, I love all of it! I hope your dreams come true. It would be great to see a children’s book by you!
