Children's book Meet the Wilson's

I keep working on my children's story. Here are a couple of illustrations that are in progress for Meet the Wilson's. This one is  when Mamma chases a opossum off 

Here is Willa showing off her new friendship bands.

Stay tuned. The story is coming together. 

Beginning of Meet the Wilson's

In July, I settled down to creating my children's book Meet the Wilson's, Wilda gets her friendship bands.
So this is what is on my drawing board.

Cardinal monotype

Sorry I can not figure out how to make this image become vertical.  Anyway this is a monotype that was sold at the Georgia Coastal Artist June Show.  Northern Cardinals just brighten up my summer days.

The beginnings

                             










This is the sketch of the beginning of Meet the Wilsons

Here is what is on my drawing board this weekend. These are some drawings for book titled Meet The Wilson's. These little guys are so much fun to draw.

Studies for the Shrimp & Grits Poster

Last year I started an image I could use in the Facebook competition for Shrimp & Grits Poster.  The chemo stop me before I could finish it.  Now I have started working on it again.  Here are a few sketches I did from head on shrimp I bought at the store.  I drew them several different way. However I really would like to see them alive and in a tank swimming around.  Drawing are some much better when you can work from live models.

An Art Show to celebration life

Here I am with my family who came out to support me

In March, I opened my first art show since going through treatments for breast cancer.  My doctors and I fought hard and we won this cancer. So I wanted to celebrate. Judith Hall was my mentor for my printmaking.  She passed away in January 2014 so I wanted to celebrate her life. The Show was titled "My Mentor and Me" It was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who came out to help us to celebrate.

Here are a couple of monotypes and etching that sold during the show.



Here is one of my small etching of the horse I shared my life with for many years ago. It is called Freedom because Pepsi and I found our freedom together.

This is a vertical piece sorry it won't turn around oh well. It is titled Chipping Away. It was to honor our Woodbine Great Backyard Count. The Chipping Sparrows help the children discover birds. 

This Black and White and Red all over.  It is a Downy woodpecker I watched at Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge.

This is Windsails.  There are only a few left of this edition. 

Now it is time to get back to the studio.
