And then, as Grue from "Despicable Me" would say, "Light bulb!" My expectations are stuck in the old paradigm, th...

Definitely need to get my butt in gear!   But at least my artist is hard working and prompt! I'm intending this for the back cover art.  The  front art has her asleep and the cherry blossoms are small buds.
