Island time...

Just returned from a blissful week on an island in Maine.  I wish I could paint there all summer long.

Packing supplies for Maine!

Getting in some painting time before I start organizing my art supplies for a week of painting on Heron Island in Maine. Can't wait!

Wrapping things up?

Finishing up the 6th story!

Finally sent off postcards to Carus Publishing (Cricket, Ladybug etc.) and Highlights Magazines!

Playing with paper and paint!

While I'm working on "Solomon Sire and the Trap of Too Much" I'm also playing with masking liquid and various brands of watercolor paper for my new project. Here's a test sample.

Just keep drawing, drawing, drawing...

Working on another dummy of my picture book project today.
