Storm approaching

I recently finished this spot illustration for the SCBWI newsletter. It is for an article on Point of View in writing and how the POV the character has should be reflected in the choice of descriptive words. All this, of course, is greek to most folks, but to illustrate this, I chose an image of a character, in this case, a WWII era child viewing an approaching bomber. The idea was partially fueled by a story my seventh grade english teacher, Mrs. Patrick, told my class years ago. She was a young girl in the UK during those war years and remembered the terror she felt when she saw the German Luftwaffe planes. All these years later, it came in handy. Thanks, Mrs. Patrick, wherever you are!
