Illustration Friday: Prepare

I haven't been able to participate in IF for a while. I've been incredibly busy with several projects, which on it's own is great ( I  don't want to complain), but I miss having my Fridays devoted to IF.

Anyhow, I recently did this little illustration for Texas Co-Op Power Magazine.
It went along with a story titled "Dream Gardening", in which a woman dreams in the middle of winter about her garden and what to plant in summer. So, even though she isn't able to go and get her hands dirty in fresh soil at the moment, she is at least mentally preparing herself for all the wonderful things she will be able to plant in just a few months.

    I love this! I works on two levels for me: the literal dream you mention, and the fact that reading books allows people to experience worlds beyond their own worlds.
