Small worlds in round frames... 🎡🎨

 

It started with a quiet moment at The Huntington Gardens, watching the pink water lilies drift on the surface. But I couldn’t stop thinking about what might be hiding beneath those floating petals... 🌿✨

Today, those thoughts have become the first sketches for a new series: "The Huntington Hollows." >

Peek into these tiny portholes to meet the first two residents:

"The Lily Lurker" — A very observant little frog who takes his neighborhood watch duties quite seriously. 🐸👁️

"Sirena coronada de pétalos" — A floral-crowned siren of the pond, woven from the same softness as the water lily above. 🌸🧜‍♀️

I wanted to capture that magical feeling of a world tucked away in the greenery, where every leaf is a roof and every lily a crown. It’s early days for these two, but I’m already in love with how that "big eye" gaze anchors them in their secret space.

Which one are you most excited to see come to life in color? 🎨👇
