Gouache children’s book illustration, painted by Kirsten McGonigal, showing a little boy and girl who are brother and sister sitting on the ground with green bushes behind them. The bushes are Oregon grape, and have purple berries on them. The boy and girl both have berry juice smudged on their faces like face paint, and the girl is reaching out to put more on her brother’s face. They also both have stains from the berries on their hands, arms, legs, and clothing. The boy is smiling, and the girl has a look of concentration on her face as she paints her brother’s face.

She has fluffy blonde hair and a 90's patterned sweater on that is blue, pink, and yellow. She has peachy skin with pink cheeks and her tongue is sticking out as she concentrates on drawing herself. In front of her are a bunch of papers with drawings, pencil crayons, string, and a book that is bound that reads "My Nano by Kelsey" with a Nano Tamagotchi drawn on it.

Hi #KidLitArtPostcard Day! Dark times (literal and metaphorical) are great times to make something with your hands, don't you agree? ❄️✂️ I'm an #unagented author-illustrator seeking representation. I ❤️ colorful textural art, funny stories for kids, and a good project. More 🎨: elizabeth-metz.com.

An illustration postcard. Art depicts two red-headed boys, twins probably, both wearing jeans, black high top sneakers, and a green striped t-shirt. They've just made paper snowflakes-- scissors and paper scraps and a stack of fresh white paper sits at their feet, and a half dozen snowflakes are already up on their window (flanked by bluish gray curtains) as it looks out on a hazy cityscape. The two boys are each holding up a new snowflake to the window to hang next.

Text below the art says "Author + illustrator Elizabeth Metz. www.elizabeth-metz.com."
