A little homage to one of my favorite books, "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It didn't come out quite like I had intended, but I'm not too disappointed. This was my first time using brushes and textures - the brushes I got the hang of, but I think the textures still need work.

I tried to put in as many Secret Garden references as I could, from both the movie and the book. I was dying for a jump rope, but I couldn't find a picture! Oh well.

Comments, critiques, and personal stories about how this book touched your childhood are welcome!
