In the meantime...

I have been rather busy, getting my latest children's book ready for publication. It's the first one with lots of color pictures, so there are all manner of technical considerations of which I knew little when I started out, so I am going through a rather steep learning curve, so I have little time for much else. But I did try to fit in some experimental bits and pieces and random sketches.

I now and then indulge in these rather relaxing and meditative pseudo-mosaics, done in ballpoint and colored pencil:



A botanical sketch:


A quick colored pencil sketch after Van Gogh:


And some experimental watercolors, after YouTube tutorials:




I hope to put final touches on the new book by the end of next week, but who knows - things always take much longer than planned!
