    This is a beautiful illustration, Nicky! Fantastic background too - is it digital or hand coloured? PS I had a good giggle at that baby picture - it is very cute - and not a bad hair day at all! I wonder who you were looking and smiling so michievously at?

    Beautiful lines! Lots of beautiful movement, I have to agree. I can almost see them swaying in the breeze.

    I love how the background gradient turned out...and also the purple and light yellow blend in so well and harmonize the surrounding.

    Good job Nicky!
