Illustration Friday: Roots
I'm late. I guess I've been so preoccupied with work, that I thought this week's Illustration Friday theme was Roots. I finally give my self some time to do this illustration, and I blotch the timing. Oh well, better luck this week.
I wanted to capture the moment when a parent struggles between rage at the mess and the undoubtful disaster in the flower garden, and the desire to show appreciation for the child's thoughtfulness. I've been in this situation too many times, on both sides.

Hey, it's great! I know how time can get away from you...now get to work on this week's topic:> I'm sure it will be wonderful.
Wow, late but wonderful !
Nice take on roots. I like it. Look forward to the next one.
I think most parents have BTDT - great idea for roots
Just happened to me this summer, when Maisie and Joe decided to help by weeding my patio pots!
This is so cute. I love it.

Such great humor and perfect designs in your work, Garth. First time visit! I'll be back for sure. Thanks!
I enjoy this illo too! You capture the child-parent struggle very well. I've been thru' both sides too.
