Hello there, little one. I love it when I start to see a character beginning to develop and take shape. It’s like magic. 💫

Inspired by a beautiful Claude Monet painting, a little artist decides to create her own masterpiece, but her puppy has other ideas. Just under 8 months until CLAUDE unveils his masterpiece! Pre-Order Now: BOOKSHOP: tinyurl.com/y874z3sm Amazon: tinyurl.com/3jzhvm9n B&N: tinyurl.com/3ph5te8m

Let the waves wash away your worries. I’ve been working on a sister‘s series of paintings. Here’s the second one. You can find the first one in my previous post. I’ll be starting on the next one soon. #peace #ocean #calm

One of my favorite things in creating art is light. ✨Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. #positivitypost #kidlitart

Sketching for fun is my favorite hobby. ✏️ #postingpositivity

I'm holding onto the hope that the perfect editor will fall in love with this book. It’s a story about kindness, a message I feel our world needs now more than ever, for readers of all ages. The manuscript is officially out on submission with my incredible agent, @kterrette!

For today's daily dose of #positivity, I am sharing another childhood memory. Do you remember your #FirstCrush? #wonder, #peace, #hope, and #love #childhood #memories Feel free to share your first crush! And why not tag them while you’re at it, just for fun!

I am sharing a daily dose of #positivity this month, including #peace, #hope, #love, or #wonder to bring smiles to your faces. Feel free to share the love.

As we bid farewell to these last hot summer days, I remember childhood, when I used to sing into the fan and hear a warbly alien voice sing back. Did you ever do that? Daily dose of #positivity, including #peace, #hope, #love, or #wonder to bring smiles to your faces. Feel free to share the love.

Telling my overly-sensitive over-thinking self that every new stressful challenge (like taking care of a dog after surgery in a recovery cone-of-shame who drools when anxious so he gets a hot spot on top of the other issue) is like bringing home a new baby. It will get easier with time.

Sharing a daily post of #positivity #encouragement. #Peace, #Hope, #Love, or #Wonder to help you through each day. I hope it brings a smile, even if just one. Please feel free to share the love.

OH HAPPY DAY when you send your new book dummy off to your agent and her initial response is "This is really good."

Another Friday, another week gone by without an offer. Keep going, my creative friends. We were born with these creative souls. Keep showing up. Keep going even if it's messy. Perfection isn’t the goal–progress is.

I see it's #PortfolioDay! Hurray! #KidLitArtDirector #KidLitArt #KidLit #KidLitEditor #Editor I am represented by Kristen Terrette at Martin Literary. You can see more of my art at www.phyllisharris.com/portfolio

Getting my thoughts out of my head and onto scraps of paper and in my sketchbook. That’s where the story starts.

Roughing out some sketches for a book I’ve been dreaming up for many years. Will it go anywhere this time? Positive thoughts and prayers are always appreciated.

Things I noticed on my way to the mailbox. I’m trying to be more mindful and being present. It’s amazing the beauty you can see all around you when you just take the time to look.

It was super hot and windy today. I had fun creating this one. My granddaughter modeled for me.

Happy summer! ☀️😎 #sketch #watercolor #kidlitart #illustrator #summer #happy-summer #firstdayofsummer

I have a classic style of art, I do like this one, which is a spread from my first authored/illustrated book, THE GIFT SHOP BEAR, but I also enjoy doing more stylized art, too. That way, it never gets boring. #KidLitArt #KidLit #Illustrator #TheGiftShopBear #Librarian #Teacher #Educator #Editor

There must be many #Newfie lovers out there because this is my best-selling art print in my Etsy shop for the US and the UK. etsy.com/shop/PhyllisHarrisDesigns #PhyllisHarrisDesigns #newfoundlanddog #Newfoundland #newf #Etsy #sketch

It's #kidlitartpostcard day! I write and illustrate for children so they can feel joy, empathy, or even sadness. So that they can be entertained or feel less alone. #kidlitpostcard #KidLit #KidLitArtPostcard #KidLitArt #Editor #Librarian #Library #ArtDirector #Illustration #Illustrator #Editors

Let us be silent that we may hear the whisper of God. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Raindrops falling in a puddle. Breeze blowing blades of grass. Swaying branches in the trees. Water drops on the leaves. My wish for you today is that you will find some stillness and some peace to refill your cup.

Does anyone know of any #editors or #publishers who have #Halloween #Picturebooks on their manuscript wish lists? #kidlit #WriterCommunity #editor #publisher #MSWL

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! #KidLit #KidLitArtPostcard #KidLitArt #Editor #Librarian #Teacher #Educator #Library #ArtDirector #Illustration #Illustrator #Teachers #Librarians #Editors

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light. ~Helen Keller #kidlitart #procreate #illustration #kidlit #illustrator #kidsbooks #drawing #sketching #painting
