I like the feel of the piece, but the perspective changes between rooms a bit dramatically. Also, your colors are beautiful, but a little dark--maybe too close in tone. If the main story revolves around the little girl, give her some more obvious contrast.

Artist Reply: Thank you for your comments, Shannon. When I upgrade my image from "Dummy Book" illustrations to final, I will definitely use your suggestions...

This is a great illustration, Susan. It seems to pop off the page! I like how the mom extends out of the border on the left side of the picture.

Artist Reply: Thank you Diana.. I love your latest pastel with the Mother/Daughter theme..

This really captures memories.

Artist Reply: Thank you Emily..the book moves from past to present, and that was (hopefully) my intent..your seeing memories makes me feel like I got it right.
