Maggie Stiefvater's Forever Contest

Hello all! This is my entry for Maggie Stiefvater's blog contest. I am trying to win 1 of 3 advanced reader copies (ARC's) of the final book in her Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, Forever. This is by-far one of my all time favorite series and I hope I win so I can read Forever that much sooner. So, without further ado, here is my entry:



This is watercolor on a 16x20 canvas. As you can see I also cut all trees, wolves, leafs, the moon, and bushes, out of an old novel I had lying around in the basement, my attempt at a layered look. I then painted the cutouts (again with watercolor) to add more definition to the piece. This project took quite a while to complete but was very fun. Please take note of the falling leaves which are blue, green, and red, representing the colorful covers of the books. I must say the covers were a very big inspiration when making this. Also notice the yellow-eyed wolf (wonder who that could be???) who seems quite hesitant to join his fellow wolves in howling at the moon.

Thanks for checking out my entry! I hope I win!
