As anyone experiences, the descent of a big project can be tricky, too. With no new work, one can feel lost in the crevasses. With too much work waiting, one can still feel oxygen-deprived. The key may be to have a little of both. I need to feel lost for awhile but I also look forward to the next project in the wings. Always the fine balance on the mountain.

On Top of Mt. Picture Book
I'm in the last stages of sending in final art for "My Wilderness". It was a long ascent. I was overly optimistic about my arrival. But the climb was steep to begin with, I knew this! Now I'm enjoying the view. A few more pre-production steps to take, and I'll be finished.

How many illustrations altogether then? I have a new appreciation of book illustrators since doing this. It is quite a challenge, but then it is rewarding! Hope you get to dance around on top of the mountain for a little while :)
HI Julie- ohh, probably about 50-55 individual scans. There's four true full spreads and lots of half pages and vignettes up the ying-yang. I'm scanning all my work for the House instead of sending originals, which is new to me. And time consuming on a small scanner. Books are labors of love, aren't they? So nice, the final product though. Thanks for your wishes. Soon I will full out Happy dance. I've gotten a few little jigs in already!
