Illustration Friday: Canned


"Chasing Fireflies"
8.5 x 11"
watercolor, pen and ink


My first submission for Illustration Friday (IF), a weekly online art exhibit. This week's topic was "canned." As I am currently on vacation and enjoying lazy summer days with my dog, this was my take on the subject. (Click on image to enlarge)

I remember doing this as well, at my great-grandfather's house. What a neat take on this theme! Great imagination.

Although there are no fireflies in So. Cal. I do remember during our short stint in Pennsylvania, as a kid being fascinated with them. They are magical and so is your illo. Great idea!
