Illo Friday – Tranquility
I can hear Amelia talking incessantly to Bronwyn out in the kitchen. She keeps shouting “Hey!” . Outside the electrician is installing a new metre box to the outside of my studio wall – he is drilling and hammering so hard the window is shaking and my monitor is vibrating. And the topic for this week’s Illustration Friday is “Tranquility”.
Despite my jangled nerves, here is a little girl pausing momentarily to let the full winter sunshine fall across her face.

Great illustration and I love your explanation. That is almost always quite a tranquil moment – soaking up the warm sun on a cold day.

Ah, yes! Couldn’t we all use just a bit of tranquility??? Lovely illustration – captures the feeling beautifully!

I’m not quite sure that I can remember what tranquility is, but your lovely illustration looks just like what I think it was.

I shall have to remember this during Winter in the US…I’ve often felt like that when I catch a patch of sunshine while the world is white. Lovely…

Lovely, Claire! We haven’t had an Illo Friday from you for a little while, and I’ve missed it. This captures the concept perfectly!

Sensational new design Claire! and a gorgoeus illustration….I really love it. As for that winter sunchine..I checed the weather in Melbourne the other day and in the middle of the night in the middle of winter it warmer than here in the Netherlands in summer. Sorry about the broken record. Its a great illustration!

I know how you feel. I spent the last few hours listening to my daughter Ryan having a chat with the dogs next door via her bedroom window. Considering she is 1.5 hours past bedtime this is both beautiful and vexing. Hang in and enjoy the ride.

So lovely – I know that feeling and you drew it. Amazing.
