Another Morning, Another Sketch

From soft to high contrast in 10 minutes, rapid studies of the morning sun.

Bluebird Inspiration

Sighting of a pair of bluebird, at the crack of dawn, got me into my studio.

Blue on Blue, nature's never ending supply of new color palettes!

Winter Magic at the Farm

The poetic landscape around me has always started many of my designs. Came across some lovely snowy px from La Basse Cour, on FB. A picture perfect farm in all seasons, right in my backyard.

Just have to sit down and play with some images from my archive. Focus is such a constant struggle for me, feeling pretty happy with

 this new holiday design.

Outside My Window

Smudged graphite is my favorite technique to indicate a black & white foggy morning.

My Summer Garden

Balancing the dynamic mountain view & the ephemeral quality of light.

An excuse for this quote by Toni Morrison ... "did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle around it; sometimes you cant even see the mountain for the clouds"

Magical Summer Evenings

Two versions of summer evenings. As much as I enjoy experimenting on photoshop, 

nothing beats working with real paints & paper.

New Creative Products

Hello April, still pretty brown outside my window. Winter is the only time I sit long enough to stay focus on creating products.

A new format gives me the opportunity to stretch my imagination, in rethinking my illustration. Zazzle lets me see my designs in a number of gift & home products.
