Dog Days



We are getting to the middle of August and into those "dog days" of summer. As a teacher, I am especially aware of the waning days of summer vacation! Still, it's a great time to enjoy fresh corn on the cob, the slightly warmer ocean temperatures, and vine ripened tomatoes!

Thanks to the folks at www.welovetoillustrate.com for this new illustration topic for August. Visit them to add your own "dog days" post.

  1. Did you add more color? Very nice! The shadows add a nice sense of depth! Perfect for the dog days of summer!!

  2. I like this moment you captured--the girl with her ipod and the dog wanting to join her.
    And thanks for spreading the word about the chance to post at WLTI. (Ha--they didn't know they had an acronym!)

  3. Ahhhh, Jane! Lovely. I think this really says it so well. Thank goodness for the fan..the pose of your character as well as the sweet doggie on top of the couch are perfect. Thank you for sharing this with all of us at WLTI! (PS - Thanks Ann for the acronym! : ) )

  4. *sigh* I miss days like this! Actually, I'm pretty sure this is exactly how I looked when I was nine months pregnant last summer. Jane, you've captured the moment perfectly :)
