illustration friday



illustration friday" is a weekly illustration challenge. a topic is posted every friday and participants have all week to come up with their own interpretation.
this week's word was "dip."

i submitted a little painting i had done of my father in law taking a dip in the pool. i'm looking forward to bringing out the noodles!
