Turning over a New Leaf
October 20, 2005
One of my favorite artists (who just happens to be my mum) has just brought out two new calendars for 2006. They are both full of 12 months of leafages � her unique medium of pressed leaves, calligraphy and poetry � one celebrating aspects of spirit, the other about grapes and wine (she lives in the wine region of Long Island where the vineyards have been devastated by the last two weeks of constant rain, right in the middle of harvest time.)
If you'd like to learn more about her art and order her calendars as lovely Xmas and New Year's gifts, hop over to leafages.com
A record of my exploration into all aspects of drawing, illustrated journaling, creativity, and the inspiring aspects of art. By the author of "Everyday Matters," "The Creative License", and "An Illustrated Life" and other books.

I think it's so cool to find out how many artist have artist for parents. Neither of mine where artist persay but my grand father took up painting in his last years of his life. I paint with some of his brushes still today.
