Mrs. Trowbridge always looks forward to summer holidays in the high meadows with her family and friends. This year things were different. Mrs. T wasn't happy about Woodrow's new rock climbing pursuits, but she followed him with her sketch pad nevertheless. The majestic Olympic skyline looms in the distance.
Woodrow was having the time of his life swinging from boulders. Here Mrs. T captures him practicing his rappelling techniques. Some of the best times for residents of Huckleberry Hollow are their summer treks to the high meadows.
Hurray! Another installment! Mrs. T should be happy that Woodrow hasn't decided to get a motorcycle. I love how peacful he looks atop the boulder...what a great view he has:>
ReplyDeleteyour teddy is just fantastic. Im close to start doing watercolor, I think you work very good your waterpaint !
ReplyDeleteLovely view of the Olympic skyline. Charming as always.
ReplyDeleteyou have wonderful work!!
ReplyDeleteAww! So sweet and such lovely stories :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, this is so beuatiful!
ReplyDeleteEverything has such a nice feel to it! You don't just illustrate, you create neat little worlds to enter in to!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!! My Trowbridge Chronicles fix is here!!...
ReplyDeleteMy oh my, Woodrow sure looks handsome in his new mountaineer's outfit! Isn't he the cutest thing????
Oh Bron, your illos are pure loveliness.
Thank you for sharing them with us. They sure brighten anyone's day :-)
wonderful stuff like his rappelling off the mountain then sittin on top after a hard trek up it great view.
ReplyDeleteI simply cannot take my eyes off your wonderful illustrations and your beautiful journal style! Can't wait to explore more on your site! :D
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! Your art on this blog and your website are very inspiring. Thank you for coming to my blog and leaving such a nice comment.
ReplyDeleteImmediately the top drawing of Woodrow gets me a yearning to sit on top of the world and just look into the wide, wide sky.
ReplyDeleteIts interesting to see the pencil sketch, fits the rough surface of the rock!
Oh wow, what beautiful work. I wish I was able to create something as wonderful as this. Looking at these two pieces makes me want to know more about the character.
ReplyDeleteI love it.
I love this! I love the antique look of your pieces, your handwriting, lines....basically everything!
ReplyDeleteWeeeeeee, your work is always so beautiful. I just love the vintage feel to them, and of course Woodrow's cute little stick-like legs.
ReplyDeleteoh, how lovely. You have a beautiful style.
ReplyDeleteSo Glad You're Back! Missed the series. . .you know this really should be synidicated! Have you e-mailed any editors the link?
ReplyDeleteOh no! Woodrow looks so small and vulnerable up there. I'd be having kittens if I were in Mrs T's shoes too.
ReplyDeleteI am so truly amazed by the sweetness and beauty of this illustration! What a lovely world this is that you have created and I look forward every week to the stories! It is a wish come true, a great favorite book that never ends!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet
ReplyDeleteWonderful and nice drawing!
ReplyDeleteUn saludo
You've really found your niche. You think and draw and draw and think very well. A very ambitious illustration.
ReplyDeleteMrs. T's love for her beloved is so touching and sweet and I'm so tickled to be let into this intimate and tender moment!!!
ReplyDeleteYou just have to believe that Woodrow knows exactly what he is doing! I would be cautious, however since his feet are rather long. He must be careful not to get one caught in his rapelling ropes or worse yet...between two rocks. The high meadows he is climbing are enchanting. Your preliminary sketches are just as inviting as your watercolors!
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius and I'm so delighted to have found you (well actually you found me and left crumbs so I could find you). You have created an entire beautiful little world and peopled it with charming characters. I'm looking forward to coming back again and seeing and reading all the stories. I've added you to the links on my page so I can get there easily. May I ask if you do all your work digitally? It looks so hand drawn but I'm guessing it's digital and would be very interested to know.
ReplyDeleteyour graphic style is really unique...I enjoy the humour behind the story...(the b/w drawing reminds me chinese ink paintings,that i love!)
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful installment of Mrs T. Woodrow looks grand sitting upon the bolder witht eh skyline in the background.
ReplyDeleteI'm late checking in but so glad i did.
Such detail, I love both of the illustrations. Woodrow looks so confident, not a care in the world. ... and yes, his new mountain climbing outfit is very outdoorsy, especially the bandana!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Fantastic style and characters... Me gusta mucho :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful lovely illustrations!! Charming character!
ReplyDeleteThe high meadows do look like a lovely place to vacation, and does Woodrow look like a proper climber in his outfit. I hope his hobby hasn't caused Mrs. T too much worry Woodrow seems to be quite a strong mountaineer.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely illos.
oh - a very sweet photo!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love it when you update the story...lovely illustrations as always.
ReplyDeleteThat's what my husband would call "life"! Glad to see you Bron! And Mrs T! Good day.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are adorable!! I love the colors and the huge cloud! Wonderful Bron - so nice to see you on the illios!!
