Happy Family: Colorful Stroll in Portland
What won me about the Dostal Family was Tauni’s description of her neighborhood. I could tell the family just loves where they are. Plus, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to illustrate a quaint little city street. As I was reading through entries, I sensed a carefree nature in Tauni, and I was drawn (haha, [...]
Happy Family: Mama, Papa, & Li’l Bird
Today’s family is more than adorable. It’s a pretty simple thing they love to do together, but their little story captured my heart. For starters, Mom and Dad are called “Mama” and “Papa”. How cute is that?! And they call their li’l guy “Bird”… which makes tossing him in the air, the perfect thing for [...]

Hoot Hoot: Owl Compilation
Birds of a feather flock together, right? Here’s the wrap up of our owl week. I was actually pretty excited for this piece. I was looking forward to seeing owls 1-6 all perched together as a family. I think this piece stands alone beautifully, all by itself. But of course it would look great displayed [...]
Hoot Hoot: Owl #6
This cute guy is based on the Scops Owl… You may know him as the Screech Owl. Other than being one of the crabbiest looking owls, they are actually quite cute. They aren’t very large, and I think that’s what makes them cute to me. They are very camouflaged in their surroundings—especially to trees— so [...]
Hoot Hoot: Owl #5
Yay! I’m loving this owl today. Barn owls (which inspired this one), I think, are some of the most beautiful and unique owls (google it for pictures). There isn’t another that looks quite like them. He is making himself at home in his tree roost. That’s right, not all barn owls live in barns. They [...]
Hoot Hoot: Owl #4
Owl number four was inspired by the tawny owl. He sits perched in his tree looking almost worried. Or maybe he’s just tired. His shaggy feathers cause him to almost look bedraggled. Yet, there is something stately about him as well. It appears he’s lived a long life. He’s been around long enough to know [...]
Hoot Hoot: Owl #3
Owl #3 is based on the world’s smallest owl. The Elf Owl. The Elf Owl is so small it could fit in the palm of your hand. Despite their size, they have nothing to fear because they find their homes in prickly cactus plants. They may be little, but clearly they are wise… as we [...]
Hoot Hoot: Owl #2
Hoot Hoot: Owl #2 I’m so glad you guys are excited about owl week! That makes two of us… well, kind of… me… and you. Multiple you. Owl #2 is loosely based on the Great Horned Owl. She’s chillin in her oak tree. Guess what! That is seriously all I have for today! I’m spent. [...]
