Joyeux Bastille!

Joyeux Bastille mes amis! Aujord–hui nous mange frommage…croissants…et il y a beacoup du vin! You could say I am a francofile…but see my maiden name is Dubon…I’m part French. So, this entitles me to celebrate Bastille Day with the best of them. Every year we gather our francophile and wanna be francophile friends and have…

Tuesday Threads

I really like my ensemble today…and I have had to put my big canvases away in storage…so no painting for me this week…that means I am relying on my trusty sketch book. I’m meeting with people about tomorrow about the book I am working on for them. I’ll get the green light on which version…

Cupcakes…

In my first art show…at a REAL gallery (summer 2008) I had a painting of a cupcake. It was one of the 22 pieces I did for that show. Today that painting of a cupcake lives at Misha’s Cupcakes in Coral Gables. If you are in the Miami area, and want a TO DIE FOR…sweet…

Over at The Florida Room…

Mad Men

Who doesn’t love Mad Men? Who doesn’t love a little Roger Sterling / Joanie lovin’? How about Don D? I’m so excited about the new season starting in a couple of weeks. I went onto the AMC website and saw the Mad Men Yourself feature has improved with more clothes, scenes…etc. I was SO happy…

Sketches for Book

I’m working on the illustrations for a book for an undisclosed party. For some reason I can’t get my picture to scan right… my apologies… I have 3 drafts of drawings which the party will decide on this Friday, and then we move into the color sketches. I’ll keep you posted.

DC Recap

Reason 8698 why I am glad we were in DC last week and not this week…the heat! The oppressive heat! Anyhow— I wanted to share with you some highlights from the whirlwind of a trip. DC is not the kind of town you can squeeze into 72 hours, even if you are there on business….

Happy 4th of July Weekend
