Sketches of next piece

To generate work and to update my portfolio I have to decided to make  a series of pieces based on the broad subject of family. Family has always been an important subject to me.  I am fascinated by the fact that where we come from and the dynamic of our family circle, shapes the people we are today.  This project will scale from human beings to animals and I have started with a piece on Honey Bees. Honey Bees have a large and complex bees nest which will be a nice design to show in paper.  The intricate way that they communicate with each other and pure reliance on their community as a whole inspired me to make them my first piece in this series that asks the question of "what is a family" and peeks into the many layers that is holds.  Finished sketch by next week!

Quincy Art Festival

Hello friends! So it's been a tough transition from summer to fall.  I am already missing the warm summer nights anddd have changed from working six days a week to seven aghhhhh, but it must be done.  A highlight would be winning second place in the Quincy Art Festival! The piece that was originally for the Taste exhibit but won second place at this local art show.  What was even nicer was finding out that my hometown has an art community thay was broader than I thought.
