Easter Bunny

Happy Easter! It took me a while to get this up, better late than never :-) This is a quick linoleum "sketch". Printed up using my new press, what fun!

The Berkeley Marina

I forget how much fun it is to sit out in the cold and get your hands all dirty with pastels, really! This is from a lovely evening late in November. Looking out past the Berkeley Marina at the bay bridge.

Salmon Lake from August

Well, it took me a while to get this posted. This is a very quick plein-air pastel from August, done at a little lake called Salmon Lake up in the Sierras. It was a blast to get ten minutes free to pastel, but I really saw how out of practice I am!

and here is the other version...

finished gnome card

Done (more or less) I did two color versions, not sure yet which I like better. Here is the first one.

This is my preliminary sketch/value study for a spring themed card I am designing. I am trying to work out as much of the value and shape as I can before I start to carve the linoleum.

This is an illustration I am working on for a great group of artists called GirlsDrawinGirls (www.girlsdrawingirls.com) The theme is pin-up girl meets fairy tale. Any guesses on which fairy tale I'm going for?
