it is the creatures that paint the leaves into fall colors. I am glad you like this painting. Many kids tell me that "this is my favorite painting" in the Β book.

Yes I understood that after a moment. It was just the feeling I got on first quick glance. It's great that kids love it too!Β

You have a very nice painting style, one that is warm and affectionate(i viewed your other paintings as well.
Nice one, mate.

I love it for the colours, the composition, the lighting - but mostly I love it because of the bucket of paint and the little footprints and the shadow of the tiny painter. I love the idea of fairies or gnomes running around each fall and painting each leaf individually. There's something so charming and beautiful - the attention to detail, like every single leaf is worth this individual attention. ^^ It's so rare to run into a real fairy story these days. There's so much science behind the magic. Not that I don't like science, but... well I hope you understand what I mean.

I totally do. I had a lot of fun writing designing, and painting this book. I hope it shows and I hope it convinces the publisher too. I really want to see this one on book shelves so people can enjoy it.

Incredible story! I loved it even though the font was quite small and hard to read but the story is worth the reading!

Sorry about the size I didn't want people printing it. Actually I need to cut them down so they are not reproducible from here on out. Now that I have sent this book off to the publisher and I have gotten all the critics that I am going to get from people at DA; I need to make the paintings and pages just place holders from here on out. DA was a great tool to getting editing, comments, and flushing out problem areas on the layout. But I am glad you like the story I hope to hear from the publisher soon about them accepting the book.

great work, with the colors and the perspective! I've painted one similar, with a "gnom" painting white circles in the mushrooms as they looks poisonus XD I'll upload it soon to dA
