Landscaping

10/31/2016

I've been playing around with landscapes, color and composition. Here's hoping I can make time for some painting very soon.

I'm so excited to share this!! My first ever book of photography. A collection of photos I've taken through the seasons in Madison WI. It's for sale through Blurb.
It was a fun project from start to finish. I have to say though, that it's an odd and thrilling thing to see my work in a book. Thanks to everyone who helped me make this happen.

Graffiti Art

Better Late Than Never

Every time I go on vacation I have a terrible time returning to my old routines when I come back. This year is no exception. I had a wonderful long vacation and now I'm doing my best to readjust to my old days. I've slept more than my share, mighty piles of dishes stacking up, a garden knee deep in weeds, and gutters over flowing with leaves. And as you can see - late blog posts.

My drawings have been a bit all over the place, as I try to find my feet again. Maybe next week I'll have something productive and on time.

Vacation Time Again

10/2/2016

It was vacation time again. This time I took a new toy with me. An iPad. I've never worked on any Apple devices before and there's a real learning curve, but I've been having a lot of fun exploring the art apps. One really nice aspect is that I can successfully use watercolor on the computer. My actual watercolor skills aren't very good. It allows me to capture things quickly with minimal tools.
