Description
We are so excited! After 13 years in the making, the children's book that I have illustrated and my mother penned is at last in print! I will be adding illustrations regularly to my FAA site,
In this illustration, Spike has encountered his first potential home. He chats with some kindly prairie dogs, and they suggest he stay with them in the hole which serves as their abode. Will this work? ...stay tuned!
Here is a description of the book, and a link to where you can get a copy:

Meet Spike the Dhog, an endearing creature (part pig, hedgehog and dog), who arrives on earth from points unknown. Go with this �different� fellow as he searches for a welcoming home among birds, fish, bears, turtles, prairie dogs, barn cats and pigs. Follow him as he goes cheerfully through the countryside on his quest to find a home where he will be accepted for who he is. Bright imaginative illustrations by watercolor artist Anne Gifford, with story by Priscilla Gifford.

I just found your spike character and it is darling Amazing. I love your creativity and this character

This is a wonderful book, with an endearing main character and adventures that showcase your knowledge of and expertise painting the nature in your area while including cute fantasy stuff. So much more interesting than the uninspired stuff I see showcased at the bookstore. I'm thinking of getting a copy, which I should give to my step-grandson (but will probably wind up keeping for myself...)

Hazel Holland
A delightful and eye-catching painting that takes you into the wonderful world of fantasy, Anne! Love all the paintings in this gallery ( and in your other galleries, too). I hope your children's book is a great success, my friend! L/F
