Winter & What I am Working on

By Maria Madonna Davidoff

Yeah, it's still winter here, but I am not complaining.
I love to hibernate in my art studio and work on my projects.
These are what I am working on today and you can also view them in my blog.

I am illustrating Magic on the Rooftop again
written by Mari Mine Rutka, published by Crane Publishing .

I have fourteen more pages to work on for this project.
