I am working on a altered book for a friend of mine. The theme for her book is fairies so I did a painting as the base for the base of my spread in her book.
Here is a painting I did at a friends studio, she has a model one night a month, who uses the same pose over a hour and half period. With a fun theme every month, this is February and the theme was Mardi Gras.
Just up dated my Portfolio on the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators website. Please check it out. Would you hire this woman to illustrate? http://www.scbwi.org/Illustrators-Gallery.aspx?i=2915907267936223
This is a watercolor I did of the two models that were at the first Dr. Sketchy, North Jersey event. This was back in January. I paint to slow for a 20 minute pose but a great time was had by all.
Here is a picture of a neighbor walking her daughter to school. They just got a new puppy. As you can see he thinks he is walking them. Yes, I do live in a town in which people walk down the middle of the street and it is relatively safe. In fact we do not have sidewalks.
