I am glad you liked it, Bow is very good at expressing himself, even if it's just hiding under a blanket.<br /><br />I was thinking about the young adult genre when I did that painting. Maybe someday I will attempt a YA book, and those usually have a picture of a young girl on the cover. However, it needs to be much better than that to qualify, and if I ever did write a YA novel, I would probably end up getting someone else to do the cover illustration.

Also, Bow hiding under a blanket is quite fun. I think a lot of people can relate to his sentiment, from time to time. Could this be an illustration for a future book?Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147781152448695481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-12920106737540542052014-06-08T06:39:53.678-07:002014-06-08T06:39:53.678-07:00Hi, Kathy.

I like to do faces, both humans and other animals, but not much else. I was looking at a picture of a model when I painted that. But I don't usually have the patience to go back and put in the details that would make it look realistic. That's why for my novel covers I usually commission a real artist.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830585801297506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-47347306122695884252014-06-08T06:33:52.691-07:002014-06-08T06:33:52.691-07:00I see the letter's you're referring to in ...I see the letter's you're referring to in Bow's picture. That's interesting. I didn't know you could paint, Aya! Who is your painting of?Nikkis Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04900207220789667368noreply@blogger.com
