Jordan River Art Center in East Jordan, MI,  has sponsored a Sketchbook Project similar to Brooklyn Art Library.  One section in my sketchbook is devoted to Postage Stamp people.  I must say, I am getting better at it.  Finding the right size body for the head is definitely a problem.  Creating the "add to" is my kind of fun.  I've taken some visual lessons and inspiration from Jo Murray in Australia http://jomurray-art.blogspot.com/2013/09/easing-back-inwith-atcs.html and Bockel 24 in Germany  http://bockel24.blogspot.com/2009/04/postage-people-alert.html Thank you to these ladies. 

Autumn Orchard

"Autumn Orchard"

11" x 14"

on acrylic box frame

Getting ready for my upcoming show at the City Opera House in Traverse City.  This piece is wabi sabi inspired.  I continue using tissue, dressmaker's pattern tissue, and all sorts of paper.  Somehow this piece seems a little haunting, although that isn't what I meant.  However, have you ever gone past an old orchard?  I guess that was the feeling I was going for.
