I like to enter the 2 Things Challenge each week. This week is People / Watch. This is my entry for People & Watch. This little bubble (whoops person) is bubble-watching (whoops people watching) as people stroll by. Here are the entries for last week’s Litter / Bug. Anyone can join in, and I hope you give it a try!! We would love more people playing with us! Details are at this link above.
Here is some Winter Silence to refresh those of us in the northern hemisphere …. it has been another beautiful sunny day - with a lot of heat - so here is some refreshment!
I opened my mouth - or rather my email fingers - and put in foot today and have hurt someone’s feelings - totally unintentionally. So I am a bit discouraged tonight. I have apologized but I am very sad to have someone hurt from my actions. I have done what I can and need to let time pass … but I still feel terrible … and worried that long term damage may happen. So I am feeling blue like this painting too!! Thanks for coming by!

I received a very interesting email the other day. There is a group in Seattle that provides medical care for children - and they want to use my image for the invitation!! It was very exciting to be asked!! Her board all LOVE this digital painting!! How exciting to me that someone 3,000 miles away loves my work and wants to use it!! She was searching (I guess in Goggle images) and this came up. I will have more to show you later - a pdf - and a website to link to. I am delighted!!
I am back after being away for a few days and actually catching up on about 10 little joby things … some paid and some not (this job for the children’s expenses).

The Orphan Works Mark-up for this week has been postponed. This gives us more time to email and fax members of the House Judiciary Committee. Write and ask them to support the amendments submitted jointly by the Illustrators’ Partnership, the Artists Rights Society and the Advertising Photographers of America.
Insure that the bill will only affect true orphaned work;
Insure that the bill will not violate international trade agreements;
Insure that the bill will not take effect until a market impact survey concludes it will not harm existing commercial markets.
Otherwise, ask them not to vote this bill out of committee until Congress can hold proper hearings into the harm it will do to small businesses, individual creators and ordinary citizens.
Don’t Let Congress Orphan Your Work
Write Congress and fight for your copyrights

Illustration Friday has a challenge every week. This week is Foggy. This one is right up my alley … Here is the bubble garden in fog and mist. This is what foggy looks like! And I feel pretty foggy today because I am on overload. Illustration Friday is a great way to showcase your work and a wonderful opportunity to meet lots of wonderful people! I encourage you to check it out! Lots of fun people and paintings!
Can you believe it? You can see me again … Twice in a week and a half - can you stand it? Saturday we went up to Rowe MA to do a fair. One of our friends was coordinating it and loves our work so she invited us to come up to the annual Old Home Days. We had lots of looking but only a few buys - even though we dragged half our house up there! The economy is taking its toll big time on the buyers at these kind of fairs.
It was great that we went though - for a couple of reasons. One - it has been a long time since I just sat somewhere and didn’t do a lot all day (I know - you keep telling me to rest!) It felt like we had been at the beach all day. Also, Susan now gets why I want to focus a lot on online marketing and she has gotten on board. This will make marketing life much better!!
More pictures may be coming later. I would LOVE to hear how you are!! Thanks for stopping by!

I like to enter the 2 Things Challenge each week. This week is Litter / Bug. This is my entry for Litter & Bug. This is humankind carreening through space, littering as we go … or is it each of us being thoughtless in a daily way as we litter the planet with our overuse of resources. Here are the entries for last week’s Work / Book. Anyone can join in, and I hope you give it a try!! We would love more people playing with us! Details are at this link above.

We made some real progress on the AWE Project (Artists Window Exhibit) today. People took on some tasks and it very exciting!! We decided to work to share our windows with children paintings from school for the next time. Here is an image from a previous project. I am exhausted and tomorrow is my hospital day - so hopefully I will have more energy!
