Calculator book

Here's a page from an educational novelty book that I illustrated this year. It comes with a calculator and instructs kids how to add, subtract, multiply and divide. It will be available in early 2010 from Tormont. How exciting!

Muffin

Here's a photo of an acrylic 24x36 painting I made several years back of my husband's family cat. Her name was Muffin and she was a surly, grumpy old cat but we all loved her for her honesty. She lived a long life of 21 years! Go figure. What a beautiful calico she was. I just had to paint her!

Portrait Drawing

(Excuse the glare on the image)
Here's a portrait I drew last year while visiting a class at the Falmouth Artists Guild on Cape Cod (my home town). They were located in a basement for a while until their new building was built. I haven't gotten a chance to visit yet, but it looks amazing! I love portrait and figure drawing and getting the time to draw a figure from real life is one of my great joys. Unfortunately, I don't get much time to fit that into my schedule these days, but I savor it when I do!

Well, it's another rainy day here in New England. Where is that sunny June weather? Here are some flowers to brighten the day.

Pinks and Reds

I had lunch today with some artists friends. It was fun and inspirational! What a great thing to do on a gloomy, rainy day. I've recently found out how to add blogs to my gmail reader and since then I have been adding a gazillion blogs to it. I love it! It keeps them organized and tells me when someone posts something new. It's like having the most amazing magazine subscription, tailored just to what I want to read. I am hoping to post art on my blog at least once a week. We'll see if I can do it. I know how exciting it is to see other peoples posts, so I'd like to do that for my readers... if you're out there. :)
Here's a couple pieces of art I've recently created. Lots of reds and pinks!
