Shades of Blue vs. Shades of Red

Latest sketchbook experiments... :) I've been sick with the flu this week - but it's given me time to doodle and illustrate - just for fun!

Finished! New Artwork and a New Etsy Shop!


This digital painting, created in Photoshop, was started ages ago! Recently I've been sick in bed with a nasty flu - but the up-side was that it gave me time (in between naps) to complete this artwork.

The aim of the artwork was to experiment with colour and light - the cool light cast by the moon verse the warm light cast by the glowing flowers. And I think it worked well! :)

I've also now opened my Etsy shop - and this is available for sale as a print, so head on over and check it out: www.kathyapplebyart.etsy.com

Introducing Little Sower Samuel

Wahoo! Advance copies have arrived!

I had the absolute pleasure of illustrating "Little Sower Samuel" with first-time author, Robert Costa.

This is the first published work I have illustrated and I can tell you, it's such a thrill to see it printed and bound. I have to keep pinching myself and telling myself, "Yes! It is a real book!"

Advance copies are now available online and launch dates will be released soon - stay tuned!

Little Sower Samuel loves to garden. When he looks around and sees that his city does not have enough of the greenness he loves, Samuel embarks on a mission of sharing, by giving seedlings and joy to all around.

Written by Robert Costa
Illustrated by Katherine Appleby
Ages 3-8
