here's an image i did for a local contest. the idea behind it was to illustrate a scene from the story "hansel and gretel". i also wanted to play with the idea of foreshadowing, by way of the witch's shadow beside the house and the smoke coming up out of the chimney.

(editor's note: looking back on this one, i'm feeling i was too subtle with the witch hiding beside the house. i was going for a second read, but i don't think the witch even registered with most people. so i went back and redid her. gave her some color but still hope she stays relatively in the background. otherwise those poor kids are in trouble :)

I really like these last two pieces. Great storytelling ideas with the Hansel & Gretel piece. Keep up the posts!

What an adorable version of the house! And I love that witch shadow.
