One of the Illustrations I've done for the 2nd children's book titled "Chicken in the Car and the Car Can't Go" written by Howard Schrager. Howard wanted to create educational fun guessing rhymes for children to guess cities with in the U.S.A.

Hopeless blogger I know...life .But here a quick update. Eventually after much time a style or interest begins to emerge. I don't have enough time to study portraiture in oil painting ...so instead......I've always liked pattern & design. Love line...so here's is many elements combined. The leaves floating around on the dress came from a watercolor study I did long ...long time ago. The figure itself was a quick life study of a women in a coffee shop ( originally in biro on plain white paper.) The rest is Imagination in Corel Painter and trying out pattern making in photoshop.

I find these loose drawings done on any scrap paper... usually forgotten that I've done them. This is Dan at one of my coffee shop haunts here in Vegas. Done in biro pen, i just love biro for some reason..think it picks up even the faintest lines that I want draw.

Think I might later digitally paint this, loose watercolor and chalk are favorite brushes. Digital has an image problem. Some folk think the computer does the work:(
