“The gourd was the perfect afternoon nap spot. No one would look for her here and make her do boring chores.”
The drawing was created using colored pencils and ink on paper by Laurel Latto.
It was made for SCBWI Artober Day 25 for the art prompt of “gourd.”
The image was inspired by the idea of finding opportunity in the moment. Also, it was about what you should do, “chores,” rather than enjoying the moment with a restful nap. I was undecided about fairy or gnome. I think the drawing came out more as fairy art.
