This is my Watercolour Illustration of my son having a wonderful, fun picnic with his toys and surrounded by some of his favorite foods. It includes a lot of fruit which he can't get enough of. You might even spot a few bees in there, this is an insect he loves and I love them too, if it wasn't for bees we wouldn't have all the food we do have.

'A perfect picnic' is a surface pattern celebration of the goodies that we share and the memories that are made, in the great outdoors.

Aren't picnics the best? This family loves getting together for family time in the park! So much to see and enjoy! This illustration was done in Procreate.

Just when you think your food is safe, here comes a food bandit. I once read that seagulls prefer food that humans have touched.

Entance for NEW HANDPICKED DESIGN CHALLENGE
The bears have gone on a picnic! They've bought a bit too much food and one of the big bears is taking a sunny nap...

Who wouldn't want to party in the woods with these guys?! ;)

I would love to spend a day in Paris, reading, playing and having some delicious snacks with my dog!

My best picnic memory is the Bento box made by my mother when we went to see cherry blossoms. The best picnic season in Japan is spring when we can enjoy cherry blossoms. We bring Bento box filled with lots of goodies, sit under cherry trees, look at cherry blossoms, eat and talk. The Bento made by my mother was filled with Norimaki (sushi rolls), Karaage (garlic ginger fried chicken), Tako-san wiener (octopus-shaped grilled sausage), Usagi-ringo (rabbit shaped apples), Chikuwa-kyuri (fish sausage with cucumber) and many more. I miss those days but I can always go on a picnic if I close my eyes. I hope my drawing makes you smile especially if you miss your family.

Just for fun, I imagined a raccoon picnic. Of course, the main dish would be found in the trash -- haha!

I have a young family (a 4 year old and 8 month old), and going on picnics together has been one of the main ways we’ve had some adventure during quarantine. It has allowed us to safely make a space for ourselves at the park, in a small patch of grass, or even our backyard! While our picnics may not be fancy, and probably a bit messy, it’s been the center of so many laughs, conversations, and memories!
