New piece I started ages ago! #kidlitart #ampainting #folktales #childrensbooks

Thank you Debbie!
I'm @jenbetton.bsky.social and I'm an author-illustrator seeking representation! I write PBs and am dabbling with a chapter book. My illustration portfolio and published books can be found on my website: www.jenbetton.com, and on IG @jenbetton.

Owl carries a rabbit on it's back as it flies through a snowy night. They approach the steeple of a church.
