The topic at Illustration Friday this week is POWER. As an avid reader I can testify to the power of the written word. When a book or character stays alive within you once the story is finished you've experienced the power of a well-spun tale.
I've always been a great admirer of authors - their imaginations, the ability to create and populate entire worlds and to make it believable to the reader - believable to the point that we cry at the demise or misfortune that a favorite character encounters.
Do you find literature powerful??
Linking to Sunday Sketches,
She's so pretty! I absolutely believe in the power of writing words myself in my dairy. I am not an author at all...I only have a tiny idea for a children's book ;-)
ReplyDeleteHave a good start in this new week - Irma
absolutely!! I can't tell you how many books I've read in my lifetime that I was sad when I came to the end of the story. i would love to be able to tell a story that well.
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute! And yes, I love books and have ever since I can remember.
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting! The combination with the book is beautiful!
ReplyDeletegreat eyes!
ReplyDeleteOf course! And you've just reminded me I haven't done any reading in ages. I think one of these days I'll pick up a book again and be reading like a fiend. Well, balancing that with working on drawing skills, I hope. :)
ReplyDeleteI can identify. There are some books that I will always remember and keep. It is so amazing how certain people can use words to capture our hearts, imagination and dreams!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of your girl and the "colour", and once again the use of the labelling tape! I will have to dig out my old labeler again.
I love books too and spend a lot time reading them, thinking about them, and talking about them whenever possible. Your girl is so pretty! Love her eyes!
ReplyDeletebeautifully said (and drawn!)
