Quiet


I like quiet...
Here is what I call the "Autumn Sunset Fairy Tree" or "The Sunset Tree". I am a shameless fan of old fairy illustrations. I looked at those books as a child and put their credibility right up there with every other subject in school, probably at even a higher level of truth. Thank God I can still go there...

I hope YOU have one of the top ten weeks of your life!

Hey, the Fair is in town! I'm going to go sketch people shamelessly eating corn dogs and french fries!

My daughter is going to LOVE this one. She is obsessed with fairies these days. I love the beautiful sky and the dusklike shadowy feel.

Have fun at the fair!

This is so great! I love the angle of the tree, it makes for a really powerful compostion. And there really is nothing like the taste of a corndog at the fair. Hope it was good!
