I'm primarily a figure artist. I've drawn so many fashion illustrations in my day, I'm pretty sure I could draw them blindfolded. Objects are new for me. I've made it a pact to pull and paint one item from my newly created folder of inspirations each day. This pot of succulents was inspired by a clipping in the LA Times last week...I found this boathouse in a "Coastal Living" magazine. You've already seen the results yesterday of my drawing attempts.
I'm a magazine junkie. Even with my pledge to reduce the amount of paper that arrives in my mailbox, I'm ultimately a sucker for flipping through pages, not screens. I did, however, manage to stack thirty magazines on my table and slice my favorite images from the pile and sort into categories.
I wonder what image will speak to me next?

This blog contains thoughts on writing my first middle grade novel, from writing the first draft and attending conferences to experiencing rejections. As a writer by night and art teacher by day, I have also added pictures and lesson ideas from my elementary art classes. To me, the only thing better than watching a child express himself through art is watching a child read.
