Cookie the Calf Children's Book in Progress


 I'm working on a children's book.

I have the written "script" or "lyrics" completed.

The paintings are a work in progress.

Right now I have sixty paintings. Ten are completed

Here I'm posting ones that are not finished.

Please provide input and advise what you think.

The book is about a calf who saves the prairie.

His name is Cookie. He's a Charolais baby calf.

blossoms- unfinished not happy with color - too much lavender in the flowers need it to dry to rework and add foreground figure
cow bird - left side too painterly drippy maybe for children ?
calf and monarch friend pretty  happy with this one but the calf is skinny
Sacred datura- a poisonous plant the butterfly needs definition and maybe one more large flower.Datura is poisonous as are many noxious weeds
snow landscape day one just laying down the composition
Another landscape with fire might not add a calf to this one
this one's a hot messlol letting it dry to fix it
calf figure not completed  and the fireflies need clarification
maybe to scary - the ghost cow over the moon
happy with the wild color - his face needs completion

milking I think this breezy sketch is done
the monarch friends - those in the background need definition
not happy with the blue sky and his body, almost there
I started this painting a year ago and still haven't completed it the trees are crazy
my song to Albert  
sketch of the weeds I like this simple one

I'm looking for input and guidance please
