Illustrated Poem

Coming soon! An illustrated poem that I'm making into a book. I have the first page of it below. The completed book will come out December 25. The poem is called "squirrel hunting." I will post it in a few days. I couldn't get the photo to flip 90 degrees so just tilt your head to see.

New Painting, coming soon!

Stay tuned for more information on my latest painting coming onto my blog next month! I have a photo of what it looks like so far:

 

The only thing that I have to paint is the log house. It'll be finished sometime in December. I shall post a picture of the completed painting as soon as it's done. If you wish to know exactly when it's done, comment on this post. Ther is a button below that says, "No Comments" click on that to comment.  

Have a great day!

The Secret Revealed

   There are so many artistic minds out there, but some don't realize it because they don't practice it or they believe themselves not to have talent. When I was little, I drew ALL THE TIME, literally. But how well did I draw? Horribly! I drew people without arms, or objects that had no relationship with the real thing I was supposed to be drawing. But that didn't matter. Later I would learn the secret to drawing, making comic strips and then finally, painting. Do you want to learn the secret?
   Know what your drawing! That's what my drawing teacher always used to say. Basically, study the thing that you are drawing or have it in a place that you can see it.
   To learn more about HOW to paint or draw or make comic strips, wait for my new page, "Classroom" to be customized. Have a great day drawing. My new page will be finished early December or late November.
