Landscape Studies • I don't do clouds. Well, at least until I did these little studies. Took some cloud photos a while ago and decided to finally give them a try. The first is my first. It was done under a bright light so it feels a little heavy but it was a stormy day. So, I'll try another with different lighting to see. The second one I like a little better. What do you think? I can take it.  8' x 9.5' oil on board, untitled  8' x 9.5' oil on board, untitled

Children's Charity Auction, Wings in the City, will benefit St. Louis' BJC Pediatric Hospice and Palliative Care program. The butterflies were unveiled in October 2010 and will emerge again in May 2011 to be auctioned off.  Emily Taylor & Ladue Middle School' contribution There are over 50 of these giant butterflies that you can see here. Here's a photo just so you can get an idea of the size of these beauties.  image from stlmag.com Artists used bits and pieces of maps, jewelry, gems, game pieces, beads, pennies, photos, hockey pucks, mirrors, buttons, legos, and mosaic tiles. A creative bunch. Here's a close up of Diane Katzman's piece.

Maybe you want to as well. What would you put on your butterfly?  Illustration by Sketched Out (Linda Silvestri) @ TheDoodleDiner.wordpress.com Sketched Out (Linda Silvestri) did this illustration for a contest onTheyDrawAndCook.com where they have illustrated Christmas recipes. It's fun to see all the different styles and recipes. I really liked this one though it's not posted on the contest site yet. (Which means it might be a winner?)
