  1. i think this is a fertile field, and the illustration just right in tone and color > night gardens, night flights, night feasts < carry On!

  4. I love it. So pretty. How about Night Shades? Night Lights? Nights in Shining Armor? You could make any word play look beautiful with your creative brush strokes.

    night holds special magic with its own special light mystery and glow...
    the crescent moon last night was the most beautiful slice...tonite it's too cold and windy to have a look...brrr

  7. These are wonderful Kimmie. The first thing I thought of was 'night owls' or 'night songs', because I hear one out my window right now. :)

  8. I really like it -- do you remember Cooper Edens? More "precious," perhaps than your work, but quirky like yours.

  11. Go for it!! I think it is great. I thought of doing "night paintings" when I was in college but I think I was drunk when the idea struck and so it never took root, lol. I am loving the "night surfing" /super!!
    Peace~

  14. Night can be so scary, for adults as well as children, but your illustrations are inviting and rather mystical. And a bit quirky! (Which I love!) Onward!

  15. Love it! I think it would be visually wonderful - I love looking at the pics, kids would too. You can always test it out at blurb.com. I put together a little book using my cactus paintings and just bought 10 copies for family. Helps to see the layout, type style, etc.

  16. So clever!! My girl wrote a short story that I really want to illustrate but I'm not good at drawing people.

  21. I do night washing often in summer so the clothes don't fade in the heat and humidity here.... just have to watch for the fruit bats in the mango trees... not pretty to wake up to washing covered in fruit bat droppings... love the sky in these and think they would be an amazing series...xx

  22. Really great. I think you are always creating in your mind and so whatever you come up with will always be great. Sometimes we just can't help ourselves. Inspiration is everywhere!
