Dad and me in back, Margo and Zamara in front.
Zamara being irresistibly cute.
I was busy the week of this assignment, busy in the best of ways - my daughter, Margo, and granddaughter, Zamara, visited me from New Zealand. We had Thanksgiving together, then visited my father in the south of the state. While I was there I drew my zoo illustration - and started to catch pneumonia. By the time we got back home I felt pretty crummy. I spent the weekend getting sicker, but Monday morn I made it to the doctor, got meds, and have been gradually recovering... as the visit of daughter and granddaughter drew to an end. Wednesday they were off to the airport. Thursday I rested.
Finally, over a week late, I have the energy to post my wee sketch: Zoo Giraffe, 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", colored pencil on tempera.

Sweet little giraffe! I like many of the other illustrations on your page too, and your comments are very wise!
Hooray Marta, so glad you're feeling better, and you made this lovely lil' giraffe. You are quite the trooper.
Aww what a sweet and beautiful grandbaby you have. Sorry you were feeling so unwell. The giraffe is such a fun painting!
Cute face and I love the work.
