Spring Colors

I am trying to get this watercolor printed on some

cards and canvas..possibly a journal.  I like the bright

colors...these flowers look happy to me!  I am going to

do some companion pieces with this.  Back to the

drawing board!

Spread a Little Joy

Working on some Christmas designs for notepads,

journals, and cups.  I have several more in this series..

won't bore you with all of them.  I used this on my 

Christmas shirt a few years ago, and it was very 

popular.  Once it gets on several products, we will 

see if it still holds true.  We could all use a little Joy 

these days!!

Back to Tea

"So I must rise at early dawn, as busy as can be,

To get my daily labor done, and pluck the leafy tea."

ballad of the tea pickers Ch'ing dynasty 1644

I have been working on some other tea designs

for the series. I am not satisfied with the others

I have done. I have been in a hurry to get

something done, and haven't invested the time

I needed to in developing a style or look for

the book. These are a little more graphic...and

colorful. I am still working on some. I love the

collage look as well, and I am doing some of those

too....should have some to share for consideration.

I will be drawing a name for the watercolor this

weekend, so send me an email or make a comment

to enter.

Back to the Licensing Portfolio

I am all caught up with all I had to do for

others for Christmas, and the house is all

decorated, the gifts bought and wrapped, and

the grocery shopping done! So, I am at my

drawing table working on some designs for my

licensing portfolio. I am going to go to the

Atlanta Gift Mart in January, and walk the

licensing show. I am meeting with some other

budding artists, and we hope to make some

contacts, or at least learn some of the ropes.

So between now and then, I hope to wrap up

some more collections of designs. These are

some fruit and veggie ones that will be part of

a kitchen collection.
