I will be participating in my school's Spring Market on April 5th. I have the honor of sharing my booth with Suzanne Propp- (www.cdbaby.com).

Suzanne and I grew up together in Westport Connecticut, in fact I was her babysitter. Today I work in our elementary school office and Suzanne is our music teacher extraodinaire, she even wrote and composed our school song.

Suzanne will be selling CD's of her music and I will be selling prints of some of my art work.

I created a couple of prints specifically for the Spring Market. The digital print to the left is my humorous take featuring a vintage postcard of Mill Beach in Westport. There are several odd happenings in this picture including a flying fish gliding through the air, a lighthouse with a realtor's sign and more, I thought it would be a fun surreal print for adults and children alike and I had a lot of fun creating it, despite all the layers I was building up in Photoshop!

The second digital print I used a vintage postcard of a happy couple cavorting in the sound, I added some collage visuals to enhance the image. I think this print would work well in a soft coloured frame, a terrific accent for the Compo Beach fan!

I've pulled a couple of prints off of my Epson R1800 on 100% cotton rag velvet smooth archival paper and am quite pleased with the results.

Last but not least I'm feverishly working on a whimsical painting of a giraffe-my version of our school's mascot  Patches-and  I will post the finished piece sometime this week.

The Spring Market is a juried show so the goods will be unique quality pieces. A couple of my colleagues will be present at this show and there will be some talented mom's also showcasing their artisan handwork.

Come visit us! Suzanne will be playing her guitar, I will be working on another painting at our booth and the school's book fair will be on at the same time!
