I did the hiding behind a chair thing on mine too. We've all done it when we were kids. Sometimes I wish I could now. Nice feeling of late night in this piece.
A bit out of season, but nicely done. Funny thing about this piece is that Santa looks a bit disappointed in the cookies. Expecting aqua vitae, was he?
When I was six, I left a hand-written affadavit near some cookies that Santa had to sign to prove his identity. Gotta love six-year-old logic.
A reminder of Christmas is nice any time of the year. I like those expressions, very warm and real, and love the cozy look of this piece. I like your take on "hide", it's unique, and of course your style is as well.
I like much this illustration, it's so nice, the expression of this little girl satisfies to know a secret :) That's so cute Michelle, bravo well done for this idea !
Hi, Mitchie. Is not necessary to say I love your art. I'm sorry because I'm too busy, but every week I take a look at IF to see your illos. Congratulations again.
I am an illustrator living in Wash. D.C. My No. 1 critic and source of inspiration is my 7 year old nephew, Kevin. He lives in Norway.
