These are the barnyard friends that I happened upon one day while sketching. What is it with me and cats lately? So, I think to myself that it might be fun to finish it.
My five-year-old was happy to color it, too! SO CUTE!!!
So, I inked it and painted it and hated it. Nothing looked right from the get-go. I was going to try something new and paint with brown, orange, and blue. Yuk. Someone else would have done this brilliantly. You can kind of tell that I gave up on it early and didn't care how it was looking and wrote all over it. Back to the drawing board...
The third time was a charm! So, here is the final result! It inspired me to write the following poem:
Book Club
The finest book they'd ever seen.
They all agreed.
Too bad they couldn't read.

It turned out great in B/W! I'm starting a B/W for marblespark. Well, it's started in my head anyway.
Your five-year-old did a great job coloring the picture!
The final picture looks great and I enjoyed the poem!
Third time lucky - and absolutely perfect!! Was worth persisting with, I love the end result in the black and white :) Very gorgeous little poem too, made me smile!
Lovely poem - and your colored version was great as well!
Ha ha- I love the poem! I think I said it before- you should totally write & illustrate a book of jokes & puns!
Awesome! I like the funny poem to go along with it. The animals are darling.
Thank you kindly!
This is so cute! This would fit into the SCBWI bulletin - you should send it in!
Great minds think alike, Lynn! I sent it in to the Bulletin, we'll see... It was also just posted on Project OpenBook http://www.marblespark.com/blog/book-club/ :)
