Here's my SCBWI CenCal Traveling Sketchbook page, now added to my website.

SCBWI CenCal is sponsoring "Another Traveling Sketchbook".  Mine is the first entry.  This book will float around to sketchers up and down the coast of California all summer.

Wow, I didn't realize just how much I've ignored this blog!  I finished up Marla Frazee's class at Art Center.  Here's my Christmas card in progress, following Marla's technique of soaking one ply paper, stapling it to a board to dry overnight, and then painting.  I did a pencil rendering of my house, and followed with some simple watercolor.
