My goodness but the weeks seem to roll around quickly. It's no sooner Monday than it is Friday again. I have quite a few things to show you for the Paint Party today!
First up a new paper doll.
This is FiFi L'amour . . . she's a romantic paper doll with the heart of a CowGirl. I have had ever so much fun doing her and plan on adding to her clothing range as time goes by . . .
At the moment her wardrobe is sadly lacking as I have been rather busy this week finishing up these . . .
yes, it's more illustrations for the children's book.
This one was a bit challenging as there were so many faces in it and I wanted to make everyone look a bit different . . . like people do, no two alike.
This is one pretty amazing cat. He reads. He also looks rather lazy in this . . . but as we all know dogs have masters and cats have slaves!
Magic blanket anyone???
This was the real challenge . . . getting it to look like a night sky and like they were actually flying above a city. I wish so much I could have gone to art school, because then I would actually know what I am doing.
This is one of my favourites. He's sleeping. I wish I could sleep that contentedly!
This has been a really fun project. I still have a few more drawings to do . . . but it won't take long now.
I hope you've all enjoyed your visit with me here today. Please hop on over to the Stamping Ground to see the rest of the Paint Party Friday participants. They are a real talented bunch!
Happy Paint Party Friday and thanks ever so much for looking!

Wow - beautiful illustrations! The paper dolls are marvelous.
Love your illustrations. I so remember paper dolls. Thanks you.
These are so lovely, the details of their clothing is amazing! HPPF!
You did not need to go to art school. It looks like you have greatly succeeded in learning to draw and paint by yourself. Beautiful illustrations. I'm so glad I checked out your blog. I don't think I've visited you before, Maria. I see you grew up in NS. We spent our 40th wedding anniversary going all over there, fly fishing and seeing the sights.
PS... I love the paper dolls. I grew up playing paper dolls and I loved changing the clothes, often making my own paper dresses to fit the dolls. Believe me, my work didn't look 1/10th this good.
I just love your illustrations! That is going to be a fun children's book!! Happy and engaging... Happy PPF! Silke
Awesome pieces! <3
Fifi l'Amour is adorable. love your illustrations.
What a precious book this will be! Seems to me you are doing well without the art education! I think that's what makes us good artists, we are naturals! ;-)))
I love the paper dolls too! Always was a huge fan of them as a child!
Love your work, so I am following now
