Ocean Art
From my yearly print sale, which closes for the year in 3 days!

A digital painting of a young girl, sitting on her knees on a wooden dock above a shallow harbor. Blacktip reef sharks circle the water around her. She is surrounded by art supplies, and is painting the sharks

ALT

A digital painting of two young boys gazing at a giant jellyfish out the towering window of their home arcade. It's night time, and the arcade lights flicker. A mermaid is visible in the ocean outside the window

ALT

A digital painting of a large, round, glass observatory. Out the windows we see whale sharks and manta rays, covered in golden/orange star. In the foreground, a girl is seen painting the whale sharks, and a small orange dog looks up at the scene from the other side of the room

Devin Elle Kurtz liked Molly's review of Ellie Has a Secret: A Magical Illustrated Picture Book About Courage and Honesty for Kids (Ages 4-8): "Wow!! This is such a great allegory for how it feels for a child to keep and secret about something they did wrong.

Devin Elle Kurtz liked Pat's review of The First State of Being: "A thought provoking novel. While not initially one I would have stuck with, due to how much it goes back and forth constantly, it is a quick read that kind of reminded me of the more confusing episodes of Dr. Who.
