A bit of recent work

These are a couple of drawings I did when I needed to feel creative. Just practice pieces using pressure/release lettering with pencil.

Another pressure/release with pencil exercise. I love doing these letters and plan to incorporate them into a large canvas piece as soon as I have time to play.

Play I did one Sunday afternoon this summer with my beautiful niece Celeste. It was fun suggesting things for her to try as she created her very first painting on canvas. It's very large, and she did a fantastic job!

Here's a bit of lettering I did a few days ago for Alice Hancock, creator of Greentherapie.com. 'Live right' is their slogan.





Here's a menu I lettered for a hospital event held at the Indianapolis Museum of Art earlier this year.



I love lettering!

Calligraphy Catch Up

Here is the logo I created a couple of years ago for the company I now have the privilege to work for. The job was created for me...the owner paid me a great compliment saying he didn't want me to get away. Blush! Little did I know when I lettered this that I would be carrying it on my business cards nor that it would be larger than life on a marquee of sorts. Great fun!



I completed (all but the framing!) this piece in a recent workshop near Cincinnati. Jacqueline Sullivan was the instructor of the aptly titled "Wet N Wild" watercolor workshop. We poured watercolors, sprinkled metal powders, salt, sand, powdered dyes and alcohol, tore paper and generally had a wonderful time.



Here are some escort cards and envelopes I recently did as part of a much larger package.




And here's an oldie I recently ran across. From a Barbara Close greeting card workshop years ago, a display of student work. This was a great workshop. Barbara is delightful as well as talented. We all created many FuN cards.
