Time to dance!! Again! Spider Magazine’s March 2011 issue features my illustration with Eileen Spinelli’s poem “Pajama Polka.” A delightful weave of imagination that shows the effect “of March wind’s sudden music.” Nightclothes fly with dayclothes for an eleven city block parade!
I played with perspective on this one, wanting to show a close-up pajama couple as well as suggest a parade and an audience. I played with texture too. Before I started painting, I laid a brushy undercoat with light molding paste. You can see better evidence of it here:
Currently working on another magazine piece for LadyBug Magazine, their July 2011 issue. Can’t divulge anything yet, except that it’ll be hot hot hot. Nice project for the cabin fever blues...
Also working on a website update... Coming soon.
