Ah, now I see the separate paintings ~ what a beautiful portfolio Cara. I love how each scene tells its own story.

- Thanks, Mary. The illustrator in me comes out in my paintings, though to some extent the story has to be made up by the onlooker.

- Thanks for your comment, Doron. I enjoyed doing the pencil and watercolour paintings, they are much freer than my usual work. Lovely to see one of your new paintings on your website. x

About

I’m Cara, and I live in Coldstream, in the Scottish Borders As well as writing and illustrating books for children I have recently been painting on canvas, in my octagonal studio (aka The Tardis) which inhabits a corner of the vegetable garden. My work for children has been published in several countries, and translated into different languages. My favourite form at the moment is the picture book, but I have also had published poetry, children’s novels, and illustrations for the work of other authors. I go out most days with my camera and create blog entries from the results. Some of the pictures I take will be used as background material for the picture book which I am working on at the moment. My son Matty set up this WordPress blog for me, and it has added a dimension to my life which surprises me. It is also interesting and inspiring to read the blogs of other people from different parts of the world, and to look at their sometimes fascinating pictures.
