illustration friday: strong

Here's my Illustration Friday entry for the theme of "strong"

For some unknown reason, the theme lead me to think of a strong wind that turns your umbrella inside out. This was the first idea that came to me! Maybe because fall weather is coming!

Happy Labor Day weekend everyone!

This piece is so much fun...you are always an inspiration with your wonderful style...and your work always makes us smile....

I was looking to pick up some of your sticky back canvas but the stores here don't stock it so I will order it on-line...

Your line is amazing!!!
