The Sunday scribblings prompt of 'three wishes' opened up my imagination. I started thinking along the lines of how to make the world a better place. But then I wanted to look at people in general and how often we wish, and what we wish for. Whenever I see a shooting star or catch a falling leaf I make a point of wishing that everyone I love is happy, safe and healthy. I have started some sketches for a few illustrations, but have so much marking to do that i'm finding the creative process rather slow and interrupted. Ironically all I want to do is paint and experment today, and i've had so much time in the past. But hey! At least I my imagination is buzzing...The illustration above is one I did for 'The boy who cried wolf", I am really interested in fairy tales and what they mean. I love the metaphors they use, especially the older versions.

sweet sister, I'm so excited for you that your imagination has been fired up and can't wait to see your wishing pictures.... as for this picture - GOD, i love it. the tiny details like the boy's feet and the faces of the people are just incredible. if i had even a quarter of your talent i would be so happy :-)
love you x
Hey Abba Dabba,
that is such a gorgeous picture (another one). You're right, though, we must spend a lot of our time wishing, perhaps even on a subconcious level, without realising. What would happen if they ALL came true?
aaaahhh!!!???
Love your blog, sister.

Hi there! I followed Susannah's blog and found you. I love your blog, welcome!!
Your drawings are amazing, they are so full of emotion and detail. I can't wit to see what comes from your buzzing imagination. Don't you love when inspiration strikes? I am a painter, so I am always hoping for those magical moments that arise when you are creating.

Abigail-
wanted to mention that I love your name. I have always planned to name a daughter Abigail.
I love this illio. Your style is great.
Oh Abs...you did it to me again. Gave me chills when looking at your illustrations. I think it is the coolest that you have a style that is all your own. That is so important for artist's to establish that and you've done it baby!!
Beautiful.

ps. thank you for your sweet, wonderful, healing words on my blog.
"The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is probably my favorite story from childhood, and your illustration perfectly captures the impending terror of what's going to happen.
I too love children's books. If you saw my shelves you would assume I have children but no, I don't. Your illustrations are just beautiful. I was just reading through your last few posts and marveling at the art that went along with them. Do keep posting your wonderful work!
I'm a bit late arriving for this post, well, heck, a WEEK late. Glad I got here though. I too get stalled frequently. I hope to see you back here soon with new work to share. And these were the BEST wishes.
