Lately, my projects have focused on animals, particularly small mammals. I am pursuing pet portraits (my cats) — one drawing is nearly done — and designing an otter greeting card to be painted in “wottercolor”. While strolling around the pond this morning, I discovered a mink and its den, so mink art might be in order. Stories about otters, a church mouse, and possibly a mink are also in the works — conceptualization, really.
