The main nine illustrations for the Garden Inspector are complete and the manuscript is at the proof reader's.
So now I'm working on the secondary illustrations which I plan to be interspersed amongst the text and bring to life some of the other features of the story that aren't 'in the gardens', so to speak. So for example, this 'work in progress' is going to be the 'Town Hall' from where our hero sets forth on his adventures.
