Snow Day!

Good morning friends!

It was quite a treat to hear last night that the area school would be closed today!

Yes-Even teachers love a snow day now and then! Not just our students!

This is a pleasant surprise to be able to get caught up on some school work and house work, do a little baking and...ART WORK!!!

Yipppeeeeee....

I haven't had a free moment to do any drawing or painting lately and it was

starting to get to me. There is such pleasure and freedom when you let your creative

juices flow!

I have been playing around with cartoons and more playful illustrations lately.

A teacher I had over at the Worcester Art Museum has a book out.

I just got it and can't wait to read it!

"How To Draw Graphic Novel Style"

by Andy Fish

As a kid I spent all my extra money on "Archie Comics" and my brother bought the "Mad"

magazines. Then later I was always drawing the "Peanuts " characters.

So... I want to go back and revive some of my original ideas with my own twist.

If you are interested in a couple of great blogs that are written by two great artists

Andy Fish and his wife Veronica
