Happy New Year!
What's new for 2018? (Drumroll, please...)
I'll be expanding my American River series of art cards. They've recently begun with a set of seven 'Local Tweets': Backyard Birds of the American River. After so many people fell in love with Aunt Amy's Tea Cup Cards (Thank you!! I love them, too!!), I wasn't sure a card without a bag of tea tucked in it would be appealing, but it seems they are!
So what's next? More birds, for starters! Friends have also suggested berries, trees, fish, shore birds, water birds, birds of prey, and mammals (mountain lions, anyone?) All of these ideas just bring home what a special and diverse area we live in, near the American River in California.
Having a sense of place is important to me. I like to know about the place I live in. This will be a worthy challenge - to share what I learn through art. It's an exciting year ahead!
