Illustration Friday: Night
I don't think I'll get around to painting something this week for the topic, but I do have some paintings that would fit. These illustrations are for a book I just recently finished painting called "Dance by the Light of the Moon" by Joanne Ryder and published by Hyperion Books for Children. The whole thing takes place at night, so it should be appropriate. It's a fun little book based on the song "Buffalo Gals" originally published in 1844. The book will be coming out sometime in 2006. I'll keep you posted. Until then, enjoy a little preview.

So, what exactly is a Buffalo Gal? and what is it about dancing by the light of the moon that they find so appealing?
Thanks for the great preview. As always, your work is truly inspiring! Maybe I should go back to school.
And for some reason, seeing the dancing picture made me think of a Bill Murray line in Ghostbusters -- "Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria!"
THese are beautiful!! Lovely!!
your illustrations are wonderful.
