The Charles W. Morgan, the last wooden whaling ship in the world. Hard to believe, but true. This is a drawing made at Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea, at Mystic, Connecticut, of the volunteers scraping the bow of the Morgan. She is a beautiful ship and the museum and her volunteers are doing an incredible restoration job!
I found another of the series of ink and washes drawings of Mama and Baby elephants. This one is a protective hug and trunk caress by Mama of her little baby.
Number three in the Patterned Fantasy Landscape. This is my triptych vineyard fantasy…
I tried out some new settings on the Brushes app to make this drawing of a ginkgo leaf and another leaf, which I’m not sure of the name. But the ginkgo leaves seem to hold on the longest to their trees in my neighborhood. When the ginkgo leaves start to disappear I know it’s coming to the end of the year. So, here’s to new beginnings.
Happy New Year!
Happy 2012!
I’m thinking of the upcoming holidays and enjoying glasses of champagne a lovely party with friends, so I chose the artwork created for Henri’s Reserve.
Happy People
Happy Holidays!
I was experimenting with patterned fantasy landscapes some time ago. I was thinking about vineyard landscapes and chess board landscapes and tree trunk landscapes and…
I was at my friends’ house this weekend and had the pleasure of seeing a mama and her baby in action. It reminded me of this drawing I had done awhile ago…
Mama teaching baby elephant how to pick a branch from a tree!
I’m not sure what happened here, but I got a little carried away and put this one flower watercolor drawing into a few filters…
I thought it would be nice to put one of the black and white illustrations drawn for Henri’s Reserve. I tasted some of their champagnes and they were absolutely sublime!
This is a color illustration I was asked to create for Henri’s Reserve. Once again, another fun project to work on. I was invited to Henri’s champagne tasting this past Wednesday evening. The champagnes are exquisite!
When Ronnie and I took a class out to the West Coast this past July we were down by Fisherman’s Wharf for the Fourth of July. There was a band/orchestra that played and performed only Michael Jackson music. This lady and her dog were dancing to the music all day long. This drawing has two images of the Dancing Lady, one where she is sitting and gyrating to the music while hanging with her dog. The other image she is up and dancing and loving every minute of it. I truly loved watching her dance and love her dog all afternoon…San Francisco is wonderful. There is no other place like it and its people.
Nature’s Government, one of the illustrations for Journal of Empire Studies. Another really fun illustration to think about, work on and execute!
A lovely day at the China Pavilion at Epcot in Orlando. So many characters…so many drawings…so many lines…so many marks…so little time…
Join Indra and take a cosmic journey on the elephant of your choice and see where it takes you…
Another in the series from the Journal of Empire Studies blog. All about Egypt, the pyramids, the Nile, the sun, the all seeing eye, and our modern radar.
So, this is another of the articles on the Journal of Empire Studies. This one is entitled, “James Joyce and the Consumption of Empire” by Lynn Bongiovanni. What a great piece of writing on the Irish author, James Joyce! Another fun and challenging illustration!
This is another in the series of illustrations created for the Journal of Empire Studies. This article is about women writers and literature.
