Various Cliches for an Alternate Holiday, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. Done on Thanksgiving. Hope yours was happy (if you celebrate). This is in Ammon's Moleskine. This completes my sketches for Ammon's book and I will probably send it off to Jessie early next week. Technical pens (mostly my new one from Poland), Pigma pens, various colored pencils (Derwent Colorsoft, Prismacolor).

this would make a great illustration for a story book. is there a story, Mary?
I don't have a story for it, but one of my goals in life is to write an illustrate children's books. I'm trying to get good enough. Dunno if I'll make it before I die of old age, though!!!
Maybe I can make a story to go with it. :-D
I just went to a site of one sentence stories. http://www.onesentence.org/ But I think I want more than a sentence.
go for it! one page at a time. you have more to gain than you can possibly lose.
Yes, Thanksgiving was awesome - the best yet! Thanks Mary! Btw, love this - very folkloreish.
Thanks so much guys! Glad you had a good Thanksgiving, Steve! YAY!
Wheee, maybe I'll start a book--after Christmas!
:-) Thanks! :-D
The moon looks so sad. Great colors here too Mary. You should illustrate a childrens book! Maybe just start with the drawings and the story will come later.
Thanks, Andrea! I've written some stories, but not about this. I wanted to illustrate the stories I had, but maybe I could go the other way first.
