It is easy to snuggle up and get lost in a good book, to be taken away to far away lands, to meet interesting characters and to live adventures you will never live. However, even though we would never live these adventures, these stories inspire us to live adventures of our own.

This started out as a life painting of my niece for my final school homework and once I had painted it I knew that it would make a good illustration. I am also thinking that this might be a neat concept that I can play with perhaps for a story.

Total time worked on this: Around 15 hours
Child Model: My Niece
Programs used: Painter 11 & CS5
