hi! i got through yesterday!! thanx Cat for your comment.i feel really good about my decisions.the book store hounded me all morning,desperately trying to explain why my books were in a dark cubby hole on the floor.how on earth can you explain it?it's called-her books don't matter!!!! anyway, i'm done with that.i've got 2 more pages on my port hope book and then the cover.i have to black it in and then send it off for everyone's approval.can't wait.this is the hardest part as an artist and once everyone is happy with their page ,i then start the colour process. i layer marker on marker.by the time i'm done each page has about 20 layers so that the tonal value is intense.someone asked me yesterday why i only use the right side of my book for pictures and the other side is blank.i learned long ago that my illustration are very detailed and strong.when doing book readings ,i noticed that all the kids couldn't stay focused on the page i was reading . they kept looking at the page ahead so i had a mock up made with only one side with my art.i found my readings much easier and the kids were able to focus on the story.also ,some kids who like to draw can do so on the other side.i love that!
i'm also going to paint the bottoms of my picnic tables.getting ready for my b&b business if it comes!i'm also going to do the trim on my house but maybe not till the weekend. gotta go....my doggy friend has arrived! happy day
