Illustration Friday: Burning

After a November storm knocks out the electricity in Katy’s Duluth, Minnesota home one dark night, she and her mother must rely on the flame burning in their hurricane lamp for light and comfort. This week’s submission for Illustration Friday is from Storm Codes a locally written, illustrated, and published children’s book.

Have a great weekend, everybody!

This reminds me of childhood times when all the lights went out, and we thought it was wonderful to have to use candles and lanterns... the novelty wore off after a few nights of course.
A beautifully illustrated piece.

This might just be my all-time favorite of your illustrations. It's so warm, so real. No, "real" isn't right, because it's *more* real than "real." But anyway, it's a beauty. And so apropos for my neck of the woods lately, because we've had some seriously stormy weather, complete with power outages, oil lamps (well, at *our* house, anyway, if not at anyone else's), knitting needles, and foghorns sounding in the distance!

Hey I finally made it over to your site! It's been a long time. This is a really well put together blog you've got here. Nice job. I'll have to pick your brain next time I revamp things. I'm glad we don't have to deal with winters like yours out here.
