April Showers...
















... bring May flowers. A new postcard piece.

And here are some process sketches...

Messy scribbles in my sketchbook (this measures about 1" wide.):














Bigger (about 3") as the idea is being formed:















Rough sketch to size:














And the cleaned-up sketch, ready to go to final art:

Neat-o! I like this piece.

Love how messy your first sketches are-- a visual definition of "brainstorm"!

Love having a wee view into your process world.

Thanks, Sherman, Dana, and Jeannie!

My process world is messy. But I think it's good for folks (especially kids!) to know that art doesn't come out "perfect" the first time around. :-)

A lovely new image for a postcard. And perfect for PBAA's blog theme :)
Do feel free to share there too.
