My watercolor painting of Meira from Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch. I’m not sure what exactly the Winterians wear, so I did my own interpretation.

Michael Phillips’s review of Insurgent Movie in the Chicago Tribune this morning. I live 35 miles west of downtown Chicago, so yes I get the Trib. Last year Michael reviewed Divergent and said some negative things about it. He seems to enjoy The Hunger Games movies though. 

His review has some humor: “I knew St. Patrick’s Day dye wasn’t safe!” and “Chicago, centuries hence, when things are rotten, but there’s plenty of free parking. At last.”

I’m going to see the movie today. I’m sure I’ll give it 4 stars.

THE HEIR by Kiera Cass

On sale 05.05.15

So she has brown or auburn hair, not reddish-blonde like I though? Oh well. Beautiful cover. Kind of similar to the colors on the Jewel cover. 

I was right about her holding the crown in her hand though!!!!

My idea for the cover of The Heir is that it has both twins on the cover. I picture the girl twin with a hair color in-between America's and Maxon's, or strawberry blond, and the boy twin with auburn hair. I decided on a plum purple dress with gold accents because it's a old contrast with red or blond hair. Since we have no idea what the twins look like or what their names are I did my best with this. I also love painting in water color. I rather not steal photos or even stock images for my entry. I did implement the title, however.
