These three gouache paintings were done for a
Children's Book Illustration class.  We had to chose a story, in this case I chose Chicken Soup with Rice, by Maurice Sendak, and had to do 3 finished children-
friendly illustrations for it.
"In April I will go away to far off Spain or old Bombay and dream about hot soup all day.  Oh my oh once, oh my oh twice, oh my oh chicken soup with rice."
"In July I'll take a peep into the cool and fishy deep where chicken soup is selling cheap.  Selling once, selling twice, selling chicken soup with rice."
"In Septermber for a while I will ride a crocodile down the chicken soupy nile. Paddle once, paddle twice, paddle chicken soup with rice."
I designed this for the First Semester Junior Video Show, 2001
one in a series of 12
A series of 3 created in response
to an assignment where we had
to pay homage to one of our favorite artists. In this case, I chose Jasper
Johns.
