© Ginger NielsonI have a fondness for this illustration. Maybe because two people who never knew each other, might be about to meet. But on what terms? Under what circumstances?

Hmmm ... now I'm curious as to what the picture is about?! :-)
very nice! i like the woman's character and the lighting here.
is this for a new book?
i like the lighting, too and i like old buildings, libraries...some kind of feeling I cannot understand.....
As an explanation, this illustration was done for a challenge offered by James Gurney. He presented a business card and asked us to illustrate whose it was, where it came from and then he posted the entries on his blog. He conducts a challenge each month, and you can find him on gurneyjourney.blogspot.com.
I see this as an older gentleman librarian who moves a book from which a card drops. The woman on the ledge by the window catches it. From there...you need to draw your own conclusions.
Oooh I love illos that give the reader a feeling of wonder/mystery. Well done Ginger!
your illustrations always have the most wonderful stories in them....just lovely!!!
