Description
I am a gigantic human and I could not eat one-half of one of those radishes (because radishes, according to some (this one) (this one here), are gross). I have no idea what these little veggie farmers are planning to do with them, unless they're punishing the radish community with their removal.I had to struggle to place the characters in contemporary clothes because I think as soon as a tiny or even smallish person is drawn my brain goes "MARLA FRAZEE BORROWERS" and tries to put them in Edwardian clothes. If they looked like Marla Frazee's art when I was done, I would just give in to that. But nope. So here.
Springtime, veggie time! Watercolor & digital.

Aw, this legit made me miss my granma. She used to tend to a small traditional herb garden and would pluck them seemingly randomly before apparently using them for minor ailments I didn't even know I had, haha. That aside, I love love love how soft the colors and the shapes are, especially the lettuces and the leaves! It's like I want to run my fingers over it and find super soft, kinda fuzzy textures beneath them. Lovely job

They do look like characters from The Borrowers.

Yummy looking garden! I love how the little people feel so camouflaged among all the leaves. And those cabbages are masterpieces.

Thank you! I think we're all in the mood for some springy colors (except in Australia, I guess). : )

I love the way you draw old people. The sloped shoulders, the saggy skin--so right. SO sweet.

Thank you! I want to draw a better range of ages, and Grandmas are the most fun to draw! : )

although it is a veggie patch, my favourite details are the littel calendula and strawberry blossoms. These are my favourite gardens that know no boundaries between vegetable, fruit and flower patches.

Thank you so much! : ) And wow, you are much more knowledgeable about plants than I am! I tried to make sure the veggies would all grow happily together in an actual garden, and just sprinkled in the same flowers I saw in my reference. It's great to know the names!
