There’s much I’m investigating and experimenting with lately. Lots of mixed media work on paper, and little on canvas, and in between it all some work on the iPad - good fun! It’s wonderful to have some work on the go, and ideas percolating, awaiting a brush or pen. And so exciting when they get... Continue Reading →
Flowers 1.Y

Illustrated Haiku – Haiga, Process Pics, and Links to Blog/Book Publishing Sites
