On Thursday it was basically all over, and I was left with a lot of errands I had no time to do over the week. So, I went on a long ride to IKEA to get some cheap dishes for a paint on porcelain class I'm teaching next month. Since it's about 45 minutes on the train, I took Micheal's book to start working on it.
I started drawings and one stop after me this cool looking girl came on the train and sat by me - she started asking about my drawings and said she just moved to a new apartment and it trying to find the right art for her bedroom and I gave her my card and we went on chatting. Then, right before she took off, I realized that all this time what she really liked on the page was Heidi's garlic on the other side of the page!
So Heidi - if you are getting an e-mail from an excited new Yorker looking to buy some paintings, that's how she found you...
today was the first rest day after everything was over and so, I finished my first double spread on Micheal book.

Sounds like you are really busy!
I love the detail and hair here!
Cool story! I hope one of you gets a sale!
That is a funny story. Your drawings are more elaborate & beautiful that my silly little garlic, geez. I question that woman's taste, ha ha!
I'm off to bed soon, as I will be catching a train to Philadelphia in the morning, then another train from there to VT & home. More than 10hrs. on trains! I have Mary's book with me, so I hope I am as productive as you are :-)
I love how you interwove these, great job! Maybe she wants the whole thing. The collaboration! That would be what I would WANT! It's super.
Hennie, have a wonderful, productive happy safe trip.
