no way said...: I like it in color and black & white! It looks like it was fun to draw, and I like all the little "messages" inside it.

Great drawing!; March 13, 2008 at 5:03 AM

Margaret Ann said...: Thanks for all your comments. I'm glad you enjoy the color. It was fun to post both versions here.

The color made my eyes pop as well. I originally drew it one day while watching House and Garden TV. Since it was in my pen and ink book the thought of coloring it scared me to death. But then...I took the leap of faith...and...have loved it even more since.

I enjoy putting little secret things into my drawings. I don't do it all the time but when I do...it tickles my heart. I am glad you enjoyed! :); March 13, 2008 at 11:55 AM
