6 x 8 in.

Ok now don’t get any funny ideas about this one :) Illustration Friday’s topic this week is "baby" and you know I can’t resist such sweetness. That and I happen to have several close friends who are expecting or just had their baby and this is for them. And I also have so many customers who are expecting their babies and this is for them too!

And then, in it’s most meaningful symbolism this is for all of us who have hope. Hope and expectations of an endless stream of goodness in our lives. We were all tiny babies once filled with hopes and dreams and happy expectations of what was and is still to come. This is just a little a reminder to keep expecting the goodness. I chose the baby to be orange, because you know I’m presently obsessed with that color, but also because it’s symbolic for a boy or a girl and the best part ~ is that I looked up what orange symbolizes and among many definitions, the one I found that I loved is "happiness energy" ~ seemed appropriate for this little baby in particular.
