Your thoughts?

A simple counting book allowed me to tell a story instead of creating separate images. While the Art Director only required that I show the individual objects being counted, “ One Full Moon. Two Black Cats.” I told a story by establishing the scene where bats would fly and costumed children would gather. “Halloween Counting Fun” was a favorite of mine to work on. (Watercolor on paper)
