I’m suffering a bit of silence, as I wait for the computer angel to fix my computer and send it back to me. Ho Hums. I’m twiddling my thumbs.

Everyone who writes or illustrates for children owes a huge debt to The Golden Age of Picture Book Illustration. I am reading this book now. #illustration #WritingCommunity #PWPoePrompts #FridayReads
My very favorite #picturebook for #Halloween is Pumpkin Eye by @DeniseKFleming Limited text. Dynamic #illustration created with poured pulp. Perfect for #storytime with young children. #FridayReads #PWPoePrompts
@RoxanneTroup @viviankirkfield I painted this watercolor of #janisjoplin several years ago. The original has sold, but for many years, I have wanted to write a #PB #biography about her. She had a sad childhood and was a victim of #bullying that she never overcame. My illustrations will be similar #PBPitch
Although I #write. #illustrate, and #paint silly, funny stuff, too, My favorite projects are those that speak to the heart. Jacki Kellum Chalk #drawing Boy with Curls #PWPoePrompts
"The whippoorwills and the hoot owls were filling the forest with lonesome songs, but soon, the little lost girl heard a twinkling sound. She knew that sound. It was the tune of the bell that hung around Bessie’s neck." Dolly Parton: Never Far From Home #PBPitch #biography #PB
"When she was a very little girl, Janis Joplin was pretty and pink, and all the people in Port Arthur, Texas, loved her. But as her legs and her arms and her nose began to grow, Janis Joplin was no longer pretty and pink." #janisjoplin Little Girl Blue #PB #biography #PBPitch
