| from "The Tennin's Robe," Highlights for Children, copyrighted material |
A version of this illustration appeared in the March 2008 issue of Highlights to illustrate "The Tennin's Robe, by Philis Gershator. I later modified it to send as a holiday card.
Tennins are spiritual beings found in Japanese Buddhist art that have some of the characteristics of western angels. They can fly, and sometimes wear feathered
kimonos called hagoromo ("dress of feathers").
Highlights for Children is a family-owned magazine, and they treat their illustrators like gold. Working for them has certainly been a "highlight" of my career.
Beautiful!
