Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!!
A kid standing in a backyard, filling a dish on the floor with water from a teapot. They have their green rain boots on and are holding a stuffed bunny. There's a wooden bench with pink pillows and a sleeping cat. There are several other animals depicted: a bird, a squirrel, another cat, bunnies, a ladybug and a snail.
I have used my name + studio as my URL for decades. However, did you know that if you type catarinaoliveira.com without the "studio", you will still be redirected to my website?
Old drawing for a "Hidden Objects" illustration for Spring 😉
