Day 5 of the Mary Poppins challenge. ‘Mary Poppins took the sparkling gingerbread stars from her basket and glued them to the sky, where they twinkled furiously, sending out rays of golden light.’ PL Travers #picturebook #twinkltwinklelittlestar⭐️

‘Mr Wigg began to laugh again loudly, and as he laughed he went bouncing and bobbing about in the air, with the newpaper rattling in his hand and his spectacles half on and half off.’ PL Travers #kidlitart

Day 2 of the Mary Poppins challenge. ‘The merry-go-round was just slowing down and as they approached it, they lept upon it, Mary Poppins on a black horse and Bert, the Match Man on a grey horse.’ PL TRAVERS. One of my favourite stories ever. #kidlitart

e been reworking an old piece and I think I’m much happier with the colour palette now second time around. Who knew part of being a children’s book illustrator with the ability to also try and think about interior design? #kidlitart #picturebooks

Can you imagine? A mouse sneaking into a cabinet and taking a toy car for a spin! So many challenges with this piece to illustrate the movement of the car and to draw pose that I was happy with. That’s part of the journey though, isn’t it? I hope you like it. #kidlitart

Such a clever idea for storing pencils @katrinmeiller Now all I want to do is sit down and draw but sadly have to go out. #kidlitartist #colouredpencils #storagesolutions
