The first is cover art for a murder-mystery novella I wrote back in 2015 called The Tea Party Affair (which you can get in two formats here on Amazon.

The second is a five-minute sketch based on the original cover art concept that I forgot to post last year. I annoy myself whenever I post old artwork that I'd uploaded to other sites but not here. Maybe it's because the galleries here are year-specific. Meh...

Anyway, creative criticism is welcome for both.
