Blown Covers – Easter Theme

I entered an idea in the Blown Covers design contest. I didn’t win, but it did get listed on the blog. It’s number 64. I’m not sure if there’s any significance to the order. Anyway, here’s the link: http://blowncovers.com/post/19395707084/the-full-easter-basket#disqus_thread

You were supposed to come up with a sketch (not a finished piece) for a New Yorker cover with an Easter theme.

Flower Painting

Okay, I like this, but it has some logic problems. No, I’m not talking about the logic problems inherent in an anthropomorphic flower. This is a children’s illustration. Anything can have a face and do humanish things.

What I mean is how, really, he (she?) shouldn’t be holding the canvas. It should be on an easel. And that thick brush is too thick to produce the detail shown on the canvas. And where is his paint palette?

Also, the poor thing’s pot is way too small.

So, my question is, does it matter? Am I being nitpicky, or does that actually make a difference?

Actually, it’s irrelevant. I can feel my perfectionism kicking in. I’m going to fix this, regardless of if it really needs it or not. 🙂
