Auxiliary Power

Tomorrow is my first show of the year and I am super excited. Lookout Los Altos, here I come. I am debuting a lot of new work and have more originals available for purchase than I have had in a long time. Can't wait to finally have them in front of an audience.

This is a fun one of some tree swallows towing a little toy helicopter. I wonder who the first person to ask me how I got the birds to do that will be..... They never believe me when I tell them they are not photographs.

Enjoy!

Many Thanks

Hello again!

I wanted to thank everyone for all the nice emails I received in response to my last post regarding the American Artist article in June. I was truly overwhelmed and touched by how many of you took the time to drop me a line just to tell me congratulations or "way to go". I have always been grateful for art and the joy I get from creating things but I really think that I am most grateful for how art has opened up my world and brought so many wonderful people into it. When I think of how many people I have met in the past few years simply because I can draw pictures, I am truly thankful.

So, thanks again, all my art friends. You guys are awesome! Enjoy this new piece. I just donated this one to the Bellevue Art Museum for their annual fundraiser in July. It is a little trompe l'oeil drawing and was a fun piece to work on.

I will be at my first show of the year next weekend in Los Altos, CA and if the weather is nice I might even get to dust off my sandals....

Best,
Eileen
