Works in Progress

The foundation work for my pending Etsy shop is going very well. There are currently seasonal prints, holiday table place settings and greetings cards in the works. Hope to have everything ready to go by the first of November. Making it happen means I need to take some time away from blog writing.


If you check back and don't see any news posts it doesn't mean I've given up the blog! It just means I'm busy in the art studio. Thank you for your patience and please help spread the word about And Topher Too!


PS - Anyone have a favorite winter vegetable? I'm trying to decide what to paint to represent winter. So far kale is the winner.

Works in Progress

It was a great weekend for drawing, painting, exercising and eating well. On Saturday we rode our bikes to the East Atlanta Village Strut (a neighborhood festival). The ride is a little over 4 miles round trip with quite a hill in the middle. Thanks to the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition for the free bike valet!

Blog writing is still on hold while I generate goods for the upcoming Etsy shop but I wanted to share a sneak peek at my progress. Everything painted has been scanned in. I'm now working on creating papergoods featuring the drawings and paintings.

Also, the stuffed poblano peppers (made with the previously blogged pig butt) were INCREDIBLE. Oliver drizzled them with a mixture of sour cream, lime and cilantro. Just a small amount but it really made the all the flavors pop. So good.
