Stephanie Ruble - Artist's Choice

The Illustration Friday prompt this week is nose, so of course I thought of the old Froot Loops commercials with Toucan Sam following his nose (because it always knows). Though even as a kid, I knew that Sam's nose was really his beak.

I was inspired to paint two characters from my current picture book project following two toucans while wearing toucan noses:

I also posted another nose painting (of Little Red Riding Hood) for Illustration Friday on my blog.  Click here to see it.
