Madonna and Child

Just wrapped up this gouache illustration for this year's holiday card. I was inspired by Ambrogio Borgognone's Madonna and Child from the 1490s. So, I used that as the starting point for the structure but wanted to paint it in a mid-century storybook style more in line with the work of Mary Blair and some of my other heroes. I learned so much in the process. See the full illustration at http://scotthodges.me/Madonna-and-Child
