About The Artwork
This original painting was created for use on the cover of a children's book named "La Ratita y el Raton' (The Little Mouse and the Rat) The book was a beginning Spanish reader. It was about a little Victorian mouse going for a walk along a river; fancy mice in big boats keep trying to pick her up. She wants nothing to do with them until a meek and simple well dressed mouse (or rat) offers to take her for a ride in his rowboat, taken with his sweet and simple demeanor, she agrees to go. This is a very simple and sweet story and I enjoyed working on it. The palette was a simple light blue and pink and all the clothing on the mice and rats is Victorian. This particular piece appealed to me, the simplicity of the characters and the colors seems to convey the sweetness of the story. Oh, and by the way, the little mouse and the rat sailed away together.

United States
I live in Tennessee in the U.S. and have been an illustrator for many years, mostly for children's literature. I started in fashion illustration and before long began freelancing and my art was commissioned for advertising, magazines and books. I taught myself airbrush and painting with acrylics. I love to draw and paint and I hope it shows in the original work that I am selling here. When possible, I have retained the originals of my work, making them available now through Saatchi Arts, some clients paid premium prices to be able to keep the original work. At the time, I had no idea that original work would eventually not exist when almost all illustration work would be produced digitally and only exist as digital files. I personally miss the days when the artist's touch showed in every artwork they produced, mistakes and all. Now it is difficult to to translate those things to paper.To see and hold an actual work of art that is one of a kind and will never be produced again is something that is fading quickly from our world.
