I chose to illustrate a New England style beach picnic- I've definitely been missing this type of gathering lately!

Here's my entry for the Let's Have a Picnic challenge :) Where I spend most of my summer, we take every opportunity to have a beach picnic. Lots of kids, laughter, a cool dip, whatever is in season at the nearby farms, bubbly and beer, cheese of course, and if we're lucky, the most gorgeous sunset.

This is a scene of a restaurant crew gathering for much needed food and beverages after a tiring Sunday Brunch shift.

All the best picnics I've been on have the same three ingredients - my favorite people, amazing views, and delicious food.

This scene depicts a typical picnic at this stage in my life - munching on a spread of olives, pita chips, hummus, veggies, almonds and cookies with my husband and three boys while taking in views of whatever beautiful mountain trail we happen to be hiking. Don't forget to wash it down with some summit seltzer and snap a few pics to remember the feast!

My entry for the Handpicked Picnic Challenge 🌄

Don't leave your picnic alone! Otherwise, it could be turned into an entertainment complex for ants, as shown in this illustration. It features such experiences as a fruit-themed, theme park, and wine river with cheese rafts, and a ski resort sitting in a cooler.

A wild and wonderful woodland animal picnic!

There’s nothing like grabbing a few snacks & heading out on a picnic, even if it’s in your own garden. We love to take a mix of treats on our family picnic, including some tasty berries for the littlest family member to enjoy!

A warm summer day with a nice view, good food, and friends or family to enjoy it all with. That's something to be grateful for!

Everyone's on board for this epic summer picnic party - look closely so you don't miss the deep sea diver!!

A chill, summery, on-the-go snack attack with less prep-work and more munching!
