Several years ago, I painted the attached image for the cover of “Animal Stories,” one of several books I illustrated for Barnes & Nobles’ Classic Starts for Kids series. I illustrated a total of 8 books for that series, of which this is one. It included doing 10 black and white interior illustrations as well.
I realized I’d never shared it so thought I’d do so now. Back when I was still painting in acrylic. They cropped it oddly, oh well…
