are we there yet?

That is the name of this self-titled, mixed-media illustration that I did today. I decided to paint this for a few reasons. One, I have wanted to do some paintings of a little Shasta or teardrop trailer for a while now. I have a special affinity for those old campers...my family and I camped out one time for over 6 months in a trailer like this when I was a little girl, and though it may sound weird, it was one of the best times of my childhood. Two, I wanted to experiment with a technique that I saw on Suzi Blu's blog and I needed to make sure the that same process would work on art board. Three, I am going through a time in my life right now that makes me wonder if I will ever 'get there'...so, "are we there yet" seems very appropriate! I hope you like it and I hope you will share your comments.

    I freaking love this! I just got back from a holiday in Clarens - a small little art town in the Drakensburg mountians - your piece fits perfectly with them. AMAZING!

    I love this one. It actually sums up going on holiday for me as a child. My nan's caravan was THE place to be :)
