'SUMMER READING'

YEARS AGO
I used to do free-lance illustration.
I came across this square original in my files.
The larger markings are
yellow oil pastel on acrylic.
White acrylic makes up the negative spaces
between the flying books, as well as
the designs on the bindings.
Black watercolor is brushed over the oil pastel
to provide textural interest.
About ten inches square.

'HOME' again...

This little guy has found a home
and
a home in my print portfolio;
it is my most popular print now.
The signed edition of 50 is gilded on the halo
and the house's rooftop.
The print also is extended more vertically
with bands of red at the top and bottom.
