Summer is Coming...

Summer this year for me involves my children, a lot of back-yard time, and perhaps a short-distance road trip... and LOTS OF ART. 





Yellow roses that grow in my mother's garden.  This is a Watercolor Rendering.
We will start with the front garden, and get it tidied up and add some fresh plants and flowers.  We will create more "focal points" for our painting sessions.  One of the best activites is to give the children a drawing board set up with paper, a pack of watercolors, and just let them find a quiet place to paint and play. 

To find a colorful sunset scribbled on a 3"x 5" piece of notepaper is a treat.  This was done by my 5-year old daughter.
A multi-colored rose.  Illustration - Black ink with Colored Pencil.  I have made this into a blackline coloring page for my daughter and have several variations.  I took the final image (shown here) and have made it into greeting/note-cards.
At times it maybe too chilly to sit out in the garden, but sitting on the patio where I am surrounded by many potted plants can be quite inspiring.

"Marsh with an Apogee Moon"


"Marsh with an Apogee Moon"



New artwork: Acrylic on Board, created exclusively for the "Friends of Madrona Marsh" - 2012

This was a wonderful project, inspired by the "Moonlight Magic" and "Starlight Magic" events that I attended the past two years.  This year I will attend again (September 29th) and hopefully will help the Friends (FOMM) raise funding to keep the preserve and it's many wonderful programs running.

I will be at the marsh on May 25th (Memorial Day weekend) giving an Art Demonstration and a "Play With Nature" art event too.  Contact the Marsh directly to make your reservations...

Miniature Canvases are the Perfect Addition to your Holiday Collection.
EACH is unique, with Traditional, Whimsical, Religious, or Custom Family Motifs...
Ranging from Small 2" x 2" to as big as you would like (of course timing is important and if you want large custom orders, delivery will have to be arranged with me... if it's a large painting, and a gift, then a sketch and rendering can be presented with a certificate, gift wrapped...)...
