I added a little more color, shadow and depth. I also added a black mask to this and posted that version to my sketchbook blog. I love painting these little cozy womb-like environs.
Children's books have many safe little realms like this: Peter Pan's hollow tree, Narnia's coat filled wardrobe, James' giant peach.
We are creatures of comfort. We need cozy! And ice cream!

Nice work.
your blog is really admirable,would you please allow me translated into Arabic ,you have many wonderfull ideas i found interesting to the Arab reader,thank you and good luck
this is so wonderful! i recently finished reading a book called "feeling like a kid" that talks about five elements in all children's books: snugness, scariness, smallness, lightness, and aliveness. it's a great book with wonderful examples all throughout- books from childhood i'd completely forgotten about! anyway, this painting reminded me a lot of the "snugness" chapter. i love it!
