Pasadena
















Hmmm...Palm trees right about now might be nice. It's time for our contact period in Pasadena. Assignments, done. Still ruminating on thesis but am feeling good about what I want to do. They have told us though that our ideas will change a few times. Our jam-packed schedule includes visiting Dream Works Animation Studio, the studios of Greg Spalenka, Jon Han, Gary Meyer, Jeff Smith, Bill Robles, Scott Anderson, Erik Sandberg, Lon Levin, Kenton Nelson, Paul Rogers, the Getty Museum , Norton Simon Museum and hopefully Huntington Gardens as as well as the Gamble House and maybe the Arm and Hammer Museum where there is a Charles Burchfield exhibition including his "late greats".

Botanical and Scientific Illustration




















New notecards with Mahogany peony and Magnolia "Betty". Soon I will post about the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators of which I am a member (Finger Lakes Chapter). I also include "Kangaroo Apple" (Solanum aviculare, aka Poroporo, New Zealand Nightshade)
a watercolor that was included in the GNSI exhibition at this past summer's GNSI conference.
See GNSI member Mieke Roth's amazing work here and conference keynote speaker, James Gurney here. Also, the amazing James Gurney, author/illustrator of Dinotopia: The Journey to Chandara discusses his process alot on his blog, (voted one of the top 101 artist blogs), the Gurney Journey. Enjoy!
