Ode to Rebecca



Let the love-fest begin! Behold, the amazing colors and textures and life that Rebecca brings to her work! Admire the lines and thoughtful details! Gaze at the life that is in each stunning piece!



Unfotunately, I couldn't pick just one piece from Rebecca's portfolio. My limbs and brain and guts would not allow it, so many things appealed to me. I chose these first two pieces for their beauty and feeling. I think it is always hard to take risks with line and texture when making an illustration piece, and truly stretch yourself into a place of extreme beauty. That's exactly how I would categorize these first two pieces. EXTREME BEAUTY. I want to eat them for dinner. I want to walk in the park hand in hand. I want to dive in and feel the wintery landscape.



I chose this last piece for it's humor, and it you spend even a moment perusing Rebecca's portfolio, you will find if chocked full of subtle and not-so subtle humor. Dogs sniffing poo is funny, and this piece is no exception. Not only is it funny, it's a beautiful illustration. She has a gift for finding subtle tidbits that everyone can relate to, and bringing warmth, humor, and beauty to them in a way that is entirely, her own. High fives!!

Rebecca draws a mighty dog. I love her whimsical style, and I agree for sure, that first two pieces are stunning. I adore the use of aquas and brown tones. It's so pretty, and sweet.
