The Year of Halloween 
Those frogs are up to no good.
You can’t all be princes, darling.
I would love to have this hanging in my house somewhere. I love her facial expression and body language. Hesitant, searching and a little innocent. Very Disney-esque with the creatures all around. Beautiful!
I had a hard time picking which one of her illustrations to post, honestly. They all have that same slightly wistful quality that she captures so nicely. It’s a shame she’s not more known as an illustrator.
Nice! It’s like a witch with Little Red Riding Hood overtones. Minus the hood, the basket, the red, and pretty much everything that makes up Little Red Riding Hood. Omigod what am I saying? I’ve lost my train of thought.
See, good art provokes a reaction, even if that reaction isn’t perhaps the most linear procession of ideas! Thanks for stopping by – come back over any time. 😉
I love her hair 🙂
It makes me want fall to hurry up and get her even more. Goodbye, hot sticky summer. Hello, cool autumn gusts to ruffle my hair and swirl the leaves around my feet!
I’m with you there!

Gorgeous! I love old illustrations like this…
Love the bats in the background. Adds so much to the picture.
They really do. I look at it and am SO ready for Halloween!
Me too. Getting stuff ready already.
Only 76 days to go! 🙂
Very close indeed. I’m already seeing the store displays.
