Summertime is Art Time




     At least I hope it is. I'm trying to make art, like crazy!!! I've had a couple of failures and a couple of not-quite-right pieces, like the one above. But I had a blast making it and want to do more. What do you think? It is based on the pour art of Holton Rower. Sorry I don't have a website to link to, but google him, check out his work. He is AMAZING!!!

     I have actually been working. I'd like to show you, but I'm not quite ready yet. I finished a gift that my daughter commissioned this afternoon. Darling, but I don't want to ruin the surprise for her friend though, so I'll wait to post. Also I am trying to make some little drawings that I can print on cards. I'm not sure there is a market for greeting cards with my silly drawings on them, but I'm going to give it a go. Four, possibly five drawings are finished but they will be posted when I'm ready to sell. In the meantime here are a few sketchbook scans:





These last two sketches feature the cute boutonnieres (apparently I spelled that word wrong on the drawing) from Mara's wedding. What? Yes, my daughter is married, and I am officially old. Also they feature some of the gifts given to John and me by the two Chinese college students that stayed with us in May. Awesome guys.  Here they are, Dwight first, then Eason. If you are able to read this in China, guys, know that we think of you often and miss you!
