HOW ABOUT YOU?

(The last page is a mirror)

I received word from The Land of Nod that they are very interested in selling prints of "Pierre Fait du Camping". That is awesome! I LOVE The Land of Nod! I should know as early as next week if they will be using my Pierre Prints in 2010

I have several paintings in the works right now. Two are closer to having the sketches resolved, and the other is more of an idea to expand on the Pierre painting. I'll have a lot more time for art when school starts again. I love playing with my son all day, but it slows down my creative time a lot. I'll post the sketch for my next painting when it is done. :D

"Pierre Fait du Camping"

Here is the finished painting, "Pierre Fait du Camping".

Check out the prints on etsy.

I have a smaller cropped version of the painting also, which is 7 x 11 inches. That version does not include the camper or the car. I am talking with the Land of Nod about making prints of this painting for their spring catalogue. It looks good so far.

Piere Fait du Camping

I've been exploring vintage toys lately. I have had some awesome old wooden hand-me-down toys from my mom, that came from my grandparents. I KNOW they'll make some appearances in my work soon. I've already been looking at some old clothes pin people that I found in a toy chest. They are GREAT! Thanks to my mom for painting the little wood pegs to look like people when I was a baby. I can't wait to get out the paints for this one. Oh, why the French title? I just love vintage French signs, so rather than putting one in the art, I figured I would just title it that way.
