Second frame for my Submission for the SCBWI 2022 Narrative Art Award.
Inviting dirt.
In light of the theme, I decided to focus on one of my favourite activities: gardening. Every year I am struck with awe and wonder as these tiny miracles burst forth and paint the canvas of the earth. It is both very humbling and very exciting to take part of it as a gardener, which is what I tried to capture in these images.
