| Pencils & Crayons of September |
An image a day. In 2010, as an artist at the Hopkins (MN)
Farmers Market, I was inspired by the farmer vendors to paint pumpkin post
cards. After posting a pumpkin-a-day on my Facebook page in October, I could
not stop.
By February 2011, the Post Card Project had moved from
postcards to large sheets of Arches 140# paper. While most are seasonal, I also
introduced the LLLama Families and the small friends, a group of whimsical creatures. The geometric
abstractions called nanoscapes and the small friends are now in separate websites.
Month-by-month: January
(lost left-handed gloves), February (missing socks), March (basketballs and a
Shamrock), April (raindrops), May (introducing the LLLama Families), June
(introducing the small friends), July (corn), August (heirloom tomatoes), September (pencils
& crayons), October (pumpkins), November (leaves), and December (Hanukah
candles & snowflakes.)
Will I continue with an image a day? Yes, but I will begin in an organized way on January 1, 2012. I have lots of projects to complete between now and then: a calendar, the small friends alphabet, the Lives of the LLLamas, and more! I am also committed to the work of the Small Friends Research Institute, which is dedicated to the discovery and documentation of new whimsical creatures.
