This is illustration two in a series of three. The publisher wanted a scene depicting some type of workshop. Given the parameters, I wanted to make it a little more "upscale," giving the feel of a room or setting that had been around for generations. A place, perhaps, that had been her mother's, or her mother's mother before her.
That's just beautifu, Bob... words can't even describe this piece. Amazing, brilliant, and inspiring. Where do I FIND this room (and the girl would be nice, too... I'll take the dog, but I already have one).

You really are so absurdly talented... The only thing that wasn't perfect for me was the whiteness of the blossoms in the vase... it does draw you into the picture but I felt like the focal point ought to be the girl standing out against the whiteness of the sky, so maybe you could put some shading on the stalks in the vase or something. Just my totally worthless opinion. Still totally superb, though, and I love how you give this a cosy, warm, homely feeling without using colour, I find blakc and white pieces often feel quite cold. Fantastic work.

Now this is a room that I'd want to have - including the owl...
All those books & herbs = heaven

60% of the statistics are made up on the spot.
I particularly like the subtleties in the ceiling and all the little things just almost hiding.
