The model for the dog ia an old stuffed animal that was my brother's. My mother sent it to me recently all ragged and aged. I had not seen this stuffed animal since I was six. Then with tracing paper I refine the images 5 to 10 times until the image pops out. I work in watercolor and touch up with gouache and India ink.
Every child has natural grace and eloquence.
It's communication without speaking. I believe in art and painting. I would love to hear from children. I want to know how they respond to my art, to my books. They are welcome to write to me and send pictures.
