I guess it’s time I put fingertips to keyboard in this blog! It seems I’ve been negligent in the blogging department… but not so… in fact I’ve been pretty busy with it, just not with the post pages. I spend quite a bit of time each week drawing, dabbling about with water color paint, then uploading the finished items of artwork to the Illustration Friday pages of this blog. In recent days I’ve put together a new blog – one that is dedicated exclusively to my artwork. The new blog is connected to this one and can be found at illustration@sandcastle. The artwork is moving along quite well, but the new blog is definitely a work in progress! For my birthday recently, I recieved a couple of long sought after volumes about faeries & dragons, to provide a little inspiration on the drawing front.

Of course, I continue to be busy with my students, who are always a source of inspiration, and together I think we often come up with some fun ways of approaching the curriculum. And that’s the bottom line… it has to be fun… stimulating… relevant… inspiring… for both students and teacher… so that we are both engaged and extended. But more of that later. For now, back to the drawing board!
