Just a quick painting done in between going back and forth on a project with my boss. My version of Corduroy from Don Freeman's book. I plan to do more small paintings like this as practice.
oh, and you asked if the robot was colored digitally. Yes, it was from my sketchbook, so the paper wasn't good for 'real' watercolor... so into the scanner for a photoshopping it went!
You have to find something unique in the book which perhaps even the author was not entirely aware of, and that's what you hold on to and that's what you add to the pictures... a whole other story that you believe in... that you think is there. ~ Maurice Sendak

Awww, its Corduroy after Lisa takes him home and fixes his button. I love this story and have read it to my kids quite often. Thanks for sharing. =)
