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!

my personal version of "The beauty and the Beast"....It's still very WIP, but I'm aiming to render it the best I can...
