Illustration Friday—Gesture
July 16, 2011
It was a “gesture” of love for both…
Sally so loved her Maggie dog and so wanted to share her joy of water and bubbles with her best pal. Maggie, however, hated water and bubbles, but she so loved Sally and would do anything to please her including endure a shower. But, oh, how Maggie silently pleaded for a reprieve from this one “gesture” of love.

I know, those faces that melt your heart! Thanks, Paula.
Just gorgeous, beautifully soft and wonderful attention to detail
Thanks, Naomi, it was so fun to draw.
I’m sure Sally’s mum wouldn’t have appreciated cleaning up the mess. Beautiful work I love it!
I know on the clean up. I thought the same thing…Thanks for visiting!
Love the expression on the dog!! Just great!
Giselle, Thanks for visiting, always!
I love the dog’s expression but I do worry about the floor…
I’m so with you! I worried about the floor, too, which made all the more uncomfortable, and fun. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
What a wonderful expression of feeling, line and contrasts!
Wonderful in every way!
OMG, P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is absolutely BRILLIANT. MARVELOUS. By far my favorite of yours (I know I saw this every week). You continue to knock my socks off with your work.
Hi!!
Thank you stopping by! It has been forever indeed! How r you?
I have a project coming up involving animals so i am getting inspired. I tend to draw realistic and am having problem simplifying. (Like Rubin has his realistic and his chibi style)..
Your animals are so fantastic! ALWAYS!
You expressed that love in the pooch’s eyes so wonderfully!

Beautiful illustrations. Your work is lovely! Kim
I lived this moment this week. I still don’t understand why my dog isn’t a bit more grateful for her fluffly, clean coat? Darling illustration. Love everything about it, including the flowers on the wall.
Thanks for visiting all! This was fun illustration and inspiring other stories with Sally and Maggie…
Soo sweet! The bond between these sweet but mischievous two is priceless.
So wonderful and sweet. You have deftly captured it all!!
