San Cassimally, Animal Carnival

This is my illustration for San Cassimally's Animal Carnival, which I am no longer officially illustrating.  I did it for Illustration Friday last week ("train"), but because of my illness, I was unable to get it done in time.  (Took me a whole week, so I may be running late!  Sorry).

This is actually on my LAST page, I think.  (The other pages are still blank.)  Because of my pain, which is usually worst in the mornings, I can't paint until evening.

Watch

This is an experiment. I created this digital image from two photographs I took.  I posted it to cowbird and from cowbird to Pinterest and from Pinterest here.  Weird.  If you click the image twice, once here and once at Pinterest, you'll end up at the Cowbird story, with a much larger image.
