The cardinal flowers in my garden are constantly being visited by hummingbirds as of late, and I've been surprised by how brave and curious the little guys are!

An illustration for a story about the life of St. Roch, a medieval French Saint known for healing plague victims and as the patron of dogs.
I'm currently writing a manuscript for this story, and I hope to make a full picture book in the future.
