Illustration Friday "Memories"

I'm going to miss summer :(

Rarrrrrr

Some Awesome News

One of my illustrations has been chosen by Hallmark to be on the front of a greeting card. How exciting. I've been feeling rather down and out lately about my illustration, or lack thereof, and this has given me such a boost of confidence. It is such a blessing and a good reminder to keep working and never give up!

Gardening

Well, I'm still working on this one, but besides color tweaks and adding a few more flowers, I think I'm getting there :)

The Final "Lily"

About a week ago I posted a sketch for a new illustration. I finally sat down today and got it done. I'm fairly pleased with this one. Now all I have to do is continue down the "flower road".

New Direction

After much deliberation, I've decided to focus my artistic energies on flowers for right now. lotsa flowers. I'm posting a sketch (work in progress that feels promising). I really needed to pick a direction and run with it, because I was getting sick and tired of all of these hodge podge illustration ideas. Sorry Illustration Friday. And "Oh My Gosh" I actually am finally learning my lessons from fibers class.

I'm excited :)

Illustration Friday "Seed"

This week's Illustration Friday is a topic near and dear to my heart...seeds. Wonderful, beautiful, lovely plants grow from seeds. Seeds are also like baby ideas that haven't bloomed to their full potential. My illustration is about the seed of an idea coming to fruition :) Also, it's springtime, and everything is growing. Ah, my favorite time of the year!

New Stuff

Well,

I've been trying to get some P&P stuff together for SCAD, and despite the fact that I am not entirely happy with the style of my illustrations for the book idea, I'm getting ready to put together a booklet. I just finished the cover, now all I need to do is gather all my misc. illustrations that are floating around on my hard drive.

"I Love it When" featured in Savannah Newspaper

Yay, an article about Teatrio, the International Children's book competition which I was accepted into, was published in the Savannah Morning News. How exciting!

Abstract Spring Flowers

Here's a little bit of the work my students have been doing in my afternoon homeschool art class!

NEW ART

I went crazy today!

Almost There

If I could write good poetry, then maybe my life would be complete.

Thoughts

So, I haven't posted in a while, and I suppose that's because I've been so crazy busy. No new art, at least none that I wish to share. Feeling rather bogged down by work and the rest of my life, which leaves little room to be creative. I am trying, though. Hoping that a trip to a warmer climate will lift my spirits.

Dreaming of Summer

It's really dang cold here!
