1. Harts Pass No. 312

A fitting ode - I hope - to the final week before starting school!

2. Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 207 - 8.20.16


While participating just a wee bit in some post-vacation back-to-school shopping, I did spend at least a little time sitting in a chair near the dressing room to draw this lovely little bear trying out a new dress. My particular input is usually most helpful with considering Garfield/Ode thrift store tees and camouflage-patterned cargo shorts -- and thusly not usually helpful at all!

3. Harts Pass No. 311

Still playing catch-up here from our time away from computers and such: While biking through the Idaho panhandle with a bike full of gear, you begin to truly appreciate the wonder of the bicycle and its unique and fortuitous mechanical advantage :)

4. Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 206 - 8.19.16


Much like the summer heat isn't much good for the Arctic, my recent summer vacation wasn't much good for the Polar Bear Post Card Project... That being said, after nearly two weeks on the road and being mostly out of touch with the world at large, my family and I are back in the saddle and buckled down for work, school, the xc running season, and whatever else that fall will bring. As my very first picture book editor used to say, "Onward and Upward!"

PS While the Polar Bear Post Card production may have stalled, I DID have an excellent vacation!

Backpacking bears! A "day-in-the-life-of-the-artist" theme coming up for the next little bit. Enjoy!

6. Presidential Polar Bear Post Card Project No. 194 - 7.18.16


A 12-hour day on the road for Wenatchee-area school visits plus my daughter's violin lesson left very little time for post card painting... Thankfully, Keeley jumped into the fray again to help keep the project on track :) I kind of LOVE this fantasy hybrid polar bear creature that she painted while I was drawing with Cascade and Grant Elementary summer school kids :) Something about the colors and the shading reminds me a bit of Sophie Blackall's amazing work. Thanks a TON kiddo!

7. Harts Pass No. 306

Still reveling in the exploratory freedoms of summer :) Not quite the same luxury for adults as it generally might be for kids, but good to remember that even away from "work" we can still be soaking' things in!

Things are a little easier in the summer... but is that always better?
