NEWS - SEPTEMBER 2021
My BIG news now is that my ABC children's book "A Silly animal Alphabet" is published on Amazon. Yep! It's there waiting for you...so go take a look!
It has hilarious animals doing very silly things they wouldn’t normally be doing. The vibrant and colorful animal characters fill the pages from Artsy Aardvark to Zany Zebra, not to mention Grumpy Gorilla and Waltzing Walruses.
PLEASE GO UP ON AMAZON and order a copy. You can save it as a Christmas gift or birthday gift for that special child in your life, grandchild, niece or nephew.

It's been a long and trying 18 months. I've been painting a fair amount this year as compared to 2020 when I wasn't in my studio so much. I've been in and few shows this year and won an award for my City Slickers painting. Here are a few of my new paintings this year and thankfully a much busier years far.
My new children's book "A Silly Alphabet" will be listed on Amazon in a few days....keep a lookout!
"At Rest" 16x20 Framed Watercolor
"Keeping Watch" 16x20 Framed Watercolor

It's taken me a very long time to finish my ABC Children's book but I've finally finished it. The title is "A Silly Animal Alphabet". Iwill post here when it is published and hopefully you'll have little ones or grandchildren to buy it for.
Here is the Front Cover and a couple of my favorite illustrations for you to preview, hope you like it enough to comment and buy it. Cheers!

I'm having so much fun working on three children's book ideas at once and, although going back and forth between all three makes for slow going, I find it really brings me a fresh perspective on each individual book as I review each one with a fresh eye every time.
I've been doing more sketches for what was my first project "Snow Day!", about a little boy's delight that it snowed overnight and he realizes that it'll be a snow day at school that day.
I especially like the Cover with the snowman seeming to introduce himself, which I did quite some time ago and originally started my whole idea for this story and the fun for a boy to be had with his dog and a snowman when school gets canceled.
These are some previous sketches and color work that I went back to look at and get some fresh ideas for sketches and color.

Some sledding sketch ideas although I haven't settled on anything definitive yet.
Ma & Pa snowman joining in the fun!
I might use these for icons somewhere in the book.
