An Illustrated Life
Tuesday, April 27, 2010 at 10:17PM I don't know if any of you remember the art show I was a part of in November of last year (it was called Growing up)? One third of those paintings are going to be a part of a travelling exhibition through the Art Gallery of Alberta's program TREX, a third of them were sold to rather lovely people and the remaining third are being transformed for a new show called "An Illustrated Life". We've added local talent Roger Garcia to our team (Amanda & Davey) and the new show will be this September at Arts Hab. I am creating at least three new pieces and am so far enjoying the new topic. I also bought a rather wonderful, large canvas that I wish to use for the upcoming show.
Do you think any of these would be a good start for a painting? Any fav's out there?

Sweet Slumber
Bad News
And this isn't for the show... I just drew it for fun (imagine that?)

Crystal, all the sketches are great. You show great variety of subject matter, mood, and perspective, that it is hard to pick just one. But the sketch entitled "Sweet Slumber" really grabbed me. You really captured that tender bond that a new mother has with her baby. It really shows the serenity of the mom, knowing her baby is safe in her arms and contented by her presence. I just loved snuggling/snoozing with my babies when they were so teeny. Nothing is more intoxicating than the yummy smell of a baby! Nice work!
Oh fabulous! Thanks - that's the one I want to do most. Thank you for the wonderful comment. You are completely right about snuggling with a tiny baby - now that is pure bliss.
