Mermaids singing, just for me,
Sing a gentle lullaby
While flying fish dance in the sky.

Every book starts with an idea, a spark, a moment of inspiration, and travels through many hands until it ends its journey with a child. This blog will track the journey of one book, written by James Mayhew, and illustrated by Jackie Morris.

Beautiful! I love the painting and the words.
I followed the link from your cats' bloggie - when I was visiting with my own cats:
http://milocat.wordpress.com/
I have popped over from WeThree and wanted to say these illustrations are STUNNING and BEAUTIFUL.
I am off to see if I can find The Snow Leopard for my daughter, who loves animals, esp. ponies and horses and cats - incl. tigers and leopards, and drawing. She might find her way to painting eventually, and I'm sending her to your site so she can see photos of how the process goes. She imagines one just paints and everything comes out of the brush just like it ends up on the canvas/paper.
Gorgeous work - count me a big fan!!
I love the way you've painted the hair. You've really captured the way it moves...and it's a nice change to see a brunette mermaid! :)x
Hello!
I'm delighted to have found your blog. As always, your work is looking beautiful.
