1. "Who is Jesus?" .....a picture book for preschoolers, written by MaryAnn Diorio









































I am working on the final illustrations for a lovely little book for the wee folk about JESUS.
What a delight, right before Easter, to be working on a book that introduces preschoolers to King Jesus, who lived and died and was raised from the dead for people, big and small.

DONE!!!

14 hours on a Mac in photoshop...no thanks! i much prefer my pencil and paintbrush!

8. Taking Grand Adventures....

Do you remember that special time of day that you would look 
forward to? 
That special teacher that took you on a grand adventure? 
A reading circle, and story time or a cuddle on mom's lap..
all places to launch grand adventures and spark young imaginations.....
oh, mine was Mrs. McMakkin....1st grade.

14. Designing a Dragon

I have been drawing and drawing and drawing, dragons.  Decided to try one in sculpty clay.
Funny how changing from flat to 3D helped.  This one will sit with my pens and pencils for a day or two before I decide on a final character!

Thoughts?

Adios.

15. Sketches from my trip!




These are sketches that I did while traveling to Colorado and back. I went there to welcome my older brother back from Afghanistan. He had been gone for a year. Much of the family was there. Not everyone but many. We had a good reunion!

Robert Cherry is a Koppelman Professor of Economics at Brooklyn College and a research associate at the Economic Policy Institute. His most recent book, Welfare Transformed: Universalizing Family Policies That Work, offers a range of strong suggestions for transforming successful welfare policies into universal family policies, from strengthening federal economic supports for working families to improving or community colleges. In the article below he reflects on the dichotomy between moral and fact-based judgments.

Having finally put to bed my book, Welfare Transformed: Universalizing Policies that Work, I have been enjoying the most leisurely summer in years, often finding myself watching reruns of “Judging Amy.” When I first watched it years ago, I admired the way it presented the tensions faced by professional women trying to balance motherhood, careers, and familial relations. This time, however, I was drawn to Tyne Daly’s character, Maxine Gray, and her resolve, as a social worker, in serving the best interests of the children and families she serves. (more…)
