Story in Progress.. Late night free writing..

 

Thirty. Not exactly the age anyone looks forward to. Amber stood in the window. The handmade hem of the long cotton night dress was scratching across the back of her ankles. Candle in hand, she stood there, staring out at the cold white horizon. It was late december, and she found herself aching for spring. Scratching a nail across the glass, she drew pictures in the mask of condensation. Daydreaming about warmer days, she sighed, draping herself down onto the window pane. It was a tall window, the bottom of the frame coming down just below her shoulders. It made her feel like a prisoner. Peeking up and out like she often did. The only window in her room. She smoothed her doodles away with the side of her little hand. The ice was cold, but it made her feel alive. She wiped the ice off on her cotton dress, and left the company of the view.

Painting in Progress...

This is a painting I'm working on. As you can see, there is still lots left to be done. 

Hello!

This blog is dedicated to the work of Sarah Keener, me, of Sarasota Florida. I'm a full time children's book illustrator and writer. I also do fashion photography and creative concept consultation. All artwork/writing in this blog (unless credited otherwise) belongs to me. So please, don't try and steal my stuff! I am doing a blog to share with you, the world of my own imagination, which isn't your own- so attempting to or stealing my stuff is only a weakness on your behalf. An imagination is like a fingerprint, it's unique, and please remember that I can reproduce my work more geniunely than a copycat- so please remember that it's often obvious when something is stolen. I'd rather you just enjoy the work. If you're inspired, that's great, and you may contact me with questions or comments. :) I will also have work for sale.
