This is a new illustration created specifically for IF.  I enjoyed creating this one as much as I would enjoy the same kind of ride *:)

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY ~ Bottled

Her wizardly ways and secrets of transformation were bottled and stored, then carefully sorted for use.

Books... those wonderful art galleries in your lap.

It's about books: I love them. Every month I volunteer in a used book shop. The sales support our library. Each time I work there I usually come home with a bag full of books. There is no substitute for a book you can hold, take off a shelf and enjoy hour after hour any time of the day or night. This week's purchases included an entire Wildlife Explorer series of 300 or so panels of animal photos and a huge Jaques Cousteau book about Whales.


There are two others one with black and white photos of animals and another of wild birds.  All of these are great additions to my art library and the cost?  Only $8.00 for all five. Considering the price of even one is over $25.00 it is certainly a bargain.
In addition these books will be used, loved and treasured by many members of our family.

Beginning work for Summer Children's Theater Camp

I have started work on a series of 4' x 3' posters for our local Children's Summer Theater Camp.  Our oldest daughter is helping to create some of these. She is an AWESOME artist with great skill in animal paintings. Actually she quite the professional having painted an entire mural of animals from the arctic to the antarctic complete with sea animals around the globe.

This is the beginning of one of the posters I am working on to create the mood for a play about P T Barnum.  So, the posters will all be of the vintage type and need to look like they did in the 40s and 50s.

This is step two in a progression.....

I will be adding Circus type lettering to each of the posters, that will take a while, but when I have one completed I will share.

Winston the Wonderhound coming to the interenet

I have figured out that the only way to actually provide Winston's story in a reasonable progression is to put him back on the internet in a way that people can access his story and any chapter more easily.  Blogger is fine , but it is hard to go back and forth if you missed something, so as time permits, his adventures will continue at:

Winston and Roxxanne are off on their newer adventures.  If you want to keep track, just bookmark the link above.
