Return to the Secret Garden

Today I'm going to present you a new Cover Illustration I realized for Sourcebooks Publishing House, to which I am particularly attached...In fact It's been a long time since I wanted to test myself in creating a secret garden, where I could put all my love for nature, plants, gardens ... connected to my childhood memories (when I was literally and emotionally getting lost and in these magic places), joint in turn to a strong inspiration coming from the Ghibli universe... "Return to the Secret Garden"! Enjoy!
