today i am traveling back to the lovely Springfield, Missouri. that means i will have lots of time to draw in this....
i am working on a project that i have been dreaming of for years.... a children's coloring book!
& a new painting. i made this for the outside i benefit art night.
it's 30x30 (i love big paintings!). i was sort of experimenting with a style that i've been curious about for a while. fun to explore new things.
here is the poster for the event, if you live nearby....
more soon! elsie

First time on blog. Tripped over from a friends blog. (randomactsofgoofiness.typepad.com) Just wanted to say you are freaking talented and I like Jeremys Music.
Especially Self Esteem. Rare to be moved on the first listen.
Keep it up.

Hey Elsie! Wow. I can only the imagine the type of coloring book you'd come up with...something amazing and inspirational for sure:)
I found this store through a link on another site and when I saw these I immediately thought of you! Just thought I'd share...its a pretty cool site to look at. Have a great day!

Is it just me or did they spell Emma's surname wrong?

I LOVE your new painting! I'm all about big paintings too :). The coloring book looks majorly fun!

How fun...ooh to be able to draw well. I can do graphic design, but natural drawing ability does not come to me...at all.
