This "storm" illustration is from Wagging Tales by Dorts Stafford, a delightful book about one of Banff's families through the stories of many four-legged friends. This particular illustration of mine portrays Dorts Stafford and Snoopy in the Banff Winter Dog Race down Banff Avenue. The sled which Snoopy pulled was built by Barrie, Dort's young son.

Warm, stylish and classic…a woman's must have! On a day when the cold winds blow, a flowing wool coat will keep you ever so warm.

The fashion illustration above was drawn on a burgundy mat board using coloured pastels to create a loosely drawn sketch depicting the flowing fullness of the coat.
