Long time......sorry

OK, I sort of fell off the earth for a while then forgot how to get on here. But hey these new photos are worth the wait. These are done with W&N zinc white gouache on arches hot press. I love how three dimensional the lettering is!

Large calligraphy urge

This saturday I decided I needed to do some large calligraphic paintings...2'x4' and 3'x6'. I rolled out long sheets of paper through my house and across my driveway and started making calligraphic marks with sumi ink and a brush.

I then went to Blick and bought canvas and paint. I was on a mission. I'm almost done with one of the smaller pieces. Check it out:

This is feeling good.

Sometimes.....

you're just writing out a check and cool things happen!

Wedding vows

Today I'm working on some posters and just finished up a set of wedding vows. I try to keep jobs like this small and personal. The dimensions are about 7"x 5.5"

A hesitant beginning

Hi. I'm happy. After a couple of years of thinking and stewing and working and doing some more than complicated social tasks, I'm finally getting my own website out into the world. I'm actually happy to have had the time to let things morph and grow into themselves but embarrassed at how long it's taken me. Let me say right now that Brown Wing Studio has been absolutely wonderful, efficient and friendly and that the perpetual "coming soon " place holder was all my fault.  Robin has been very patient with me. She also suggested I might want to do a blog, so here we are, just you and me.  I had never thought about blogging, but it might be a good idea.  We'll see.
