Sketches for Baby Slesnick
For years I have been painting for nurseries. Finally, I have a nursery of my own to paint for! Terribly exciting.

So week 14 is here. Some books say I have been in my second trimester for a week…others say its now…whatever…I feel great! I am growing and my regular clothes are shrinking. Here are some sketches from the past two days. Yesterday I had my first board meeting for the Florida Film Institute, so I…
