Illustration Friday 06/24/11: Midsummer Night


So it's been a LONG while since I've done an Illustration Friday. I've had a long week though. Among other things, I was waiting to hear whether or not the tumor the vet took off my dog's neck was cancer. Rather than sit around worrying about it again last night, I decided I needed a distraction, so I looked to see what the theme was. I came up with a few different ideas, but decided to go with something serene. What's more serene than watching fireflies and stars, while listening to crickets chirp out in the middle of nowhere?

Anyway, I didn't spend too long on this one, and didn't finish last night, but it served its purpose. I got good news this afternoon though, Mollie's tumor was benign, so I added the tree and lightning bugs, and decided to post it. Not my best work, but considering I only spent maybe an hour total, and it was done with a mouse, I'm relatively pleased. Hopefully I won't wait too long before participating again.
