I can not believe how long it has been since I have posted. I've been very busy working on illustrating my friend's children book. That should be complete TOMORROW! Yeah! I am very excited about its completion and printing!

I have also been working on two mixed media pieces for a show entitled 8X8 at Fountain Street Fine Art in Framingham. The pieces are also complete and pictured below.

Interactive I is a mixed media piece that is meant to be handled. Made from a recycled book and my recycled watercolor paintings. The watercolor strips have quotes written on them: pull one out, read it and return.

It is a mixed media piece that was just plain fun to create. Enjoy finding "it".

Blizzard & Watercolors

Well, the blizzard of 2013 has come and gone leaving the world looking quite beautiful! I know many hate the snow but I love it! Everything is scrubbed clean and white and the sky after a big snow is always so blue!

 After  hours of shoveling and scraping cars I spent the afternoon setting up my new travel watercolor palette. I got this one from Ken Bromley Art Supplies in England. I love that I can fill the individual pans with the colors I choose. I have extra pans filled with colors I do not use very often. I found they fit perfectly in an Altoid tin! I am all set to PAINT!

Lastly, I painted a color chart, fun!

Way too long since my last post! Its been busy and I am working on a new and very exciting project.

My dear friend Kelly has written a children's book and she has asked me to illustrate it for her!!! I am so pleased and honored!

So the process has begun. She and I have laid the book out, she has approved my rough illustrations and I am now in the process of tightening everything up. Here's a look at my progress.

 I have been doing a bit of research on New England based seaweed and sea life. The book is about a fish living in the waters of

Southern New England/Cape Cod. 

I am going to be watercoloring the final illustrations.

This is my work space over looking the happenings in downtown.
Very sunny and bright and filled with good friends.
Pretty sweet!

I will continue to update my progress. The deadline is the end of February so I am going to be VERY busy!
