watching from window

a small b&w i did for a possible job...

Jane Clark Brown

I just found out that Jane Clark Brown, illustrator of the Marvin books, passed away in January. I met Jane at a Camp Hochelaga reunion. She was a tireless worker for Camp, and even at the reunion, I watched her pull a weed here and there. At Hochelaga, in the the new library, in the new Lodge, that she had worked hard to get built, we sat and talked about children's books, editors and illustrations. I was so looking forward to having another time like that with her at 90th reunion this summer.



Jane Clark Brown, Hochelaga Girl, you will be missed.

I am done designing the magazine and have some time to draw. Here I am preparing lunch.

sketch for early reader

I finally had an opportunity to get some painting done. Here Little Bo Peep is waking up from a little nap.

towm meeting

Well, here's one thing that's probably keeping Sarah, Amy and me busy today: town meeting. I took my sketchbook because I am not knitting anything right now. It was interesting and heated at times, but most of all amazing to see that this kind of community decision making based on spoken "yea or nay" vote can still work.
