The front and last pages (folded in the middle)
I watercolored what will be the front piece and end page. I am debating going back and putting sky into most of the bigger landscapes. Originally, I thought that I needed to leave the space white for the words, but upon reflection, the writing should be easily visible through the blue sky and I think the expanses maybe need some color.
Any opinions on that?

When setting up the other drawings for the book, I forgot all about the cover piece. So here is the pencil and ink up. I wasn’t happy with the first drawing and ended up adding some vegetation to the foreground in the inking for more color. I like it better, now.
