Hillsdale Arts Walk A Success

My first time exhibiting my art at Hillsdale Arts Walk yesterday was a great experience; I sold 5 pieces.
My oil painting of a black eyed susan, and 4 framed monoprints sold to visitors of Hillsdale coming from New York City and Kingston. 
With 72 artists and crafters, there were many talented people with work to choose from. Music and food did not disappoint either.
It was a great event, and I would definitely attend again.

Don't Quit Your Daydream

Laying out and revising illustrations for my upcoming 6th book,
I Love You As Big As A Pumpkin.
Hopefully it will be out by this Halloween.

Halloween has always been a favorite time of mine; the colors and the subject matter are certainly fun to illustrate.

Art for animal issues; Cecil the Lion

Last year I was among the many worldwide saddened by a dentist killing Cecil the Lion.
This year, the issue is not forgotten as a group known as
Justice For Cecil the Lion marched on Washington yesterday.
I was pleased to have my art featured on their Facebook page;
it was a joy to create and I felt like creating the art last year in response to a beautiful animal being killed needlessly.

Celebrating Creativity at the Hudson Children's Book Festival

The 8th annual Hudson Children’s Book Festival that took place on Saturday, May 7 in the Hudson High School was a treat for all who attended.
Area children look forward to this event for quite some time. Each child leaves with at least one book since a fundraiser held in March at Stair Galleries ensures that money is raised to give each child attending the festival a token to pick out a favorite book from the author of their choice.
Over 70 authors and illustrators come from all over to share their creativity with the community through their books and portfolios. The festival draws over 2,000 visitors each year, and some I had the chance to speak to were coming from Syracuse, Hyde Park and Saugerties for the first time. The event is as exciting for adults as it is for children, with many adults starting their holiday shopping here.
The Elks Club generously hosts us every year for a breakfast before the event with volunteers working the breakfast and throughout the day at the festival itself.
The authors and the community of Hudson are grateful to everyone who makes this event possible.

The Winter Show is still going on at 46 Green St Gallery Hudson.
We've been lucky so far with a mild winter, and it is a season that I think has its own beauty.
