HONG KONG!

I have been traveling in Hong Kong-- to visit my son, teach a workshop, and gain new inspiration.  It is so overwhelming here!  I love it!

The city is a mixture of antique and modern, heat, humidity, humanity, commerce, energy, vitality, international folks, food, smells, joy, tradition, future.

I am in love with HONG KONG!

So... for the next few days-- I will be intoxicated with new imagery and inspiration.

The door to the future opens in Asia!

Tomorrow... we leave for Thailand... a whole new experience.


Stay tuned for more photos...and soon... a new series of works based on Hong Kong!

Evan's 26 YEAR portrait-- watercolor!

I have finished the portrait for the GROWTH SERIES of Evan -- who turned 27.  This was the first year I was a little late in painting his portrait.  but--  I DID get it done!

I'm about to go visit him-- and I will gather new information to do his 27th portrait during the coming year.

Yay!  love this series...

HOPPER TRIPTYCH- watercolor

A new triptych for the small INTRUDERS show.  It didn't make it to framing stage-- but I will include this beautiful triptych anyway.

The monarch was particularly fun to paint.  I believe it shows a freedom and splash that could only be achieved after painting 200 other bugs!

There's no way I would have painted this as simply and directly as it is-- without all that other foundational understanding of all the other bugs.

Viva la insects!

I am finally rounding down my series on bugs.  There's only a few more to do for Crate & Barrel-- then I stop.

It's been a good run.. and I've had a super time with all that it's lead me to do.

I have loved making the book, the note cards, the lapel pin, the mini-moo cards, the poster, and working with PaperPaintPress on the wallpaper, and with Anne Taussig on the TEES.

What a super opening we will have next Friday!

Please come if you can-- and celebrate the small INTRUDERS!
