The Goddard School #2

This is my rendering for the entrance mural at the Erie Goddard School. Sarah wants to eliminate the stump and bunny but, aside from those changes, I will stay pretty true to this watercolor. The bears are from one of my favorite books in Charlie's collection, 'Mommy Mine' illustrated by Jane Chapman. I hope that I am successful at emulating her style for these bear murals as her illustrations are favorites of both Sarah's (the school's owner) and mine. Mrs. Chapman has an amazing talent for making potentially scary animals warm and friendly.

I sart Monday so I have much sketching to fill my weekend... my 'stay inside where it is warm' weekend.

The Goddard School... first one

I have finally had a chance to take, sort and photo shop my pictures from the big pre-school gig last month. It was a blast! I worked some insane hours the final week so that it would be all finished when they opened but, it was well worth it. It was great going back in after the school had been open for a few weeks to see how much the children have impacted the space. There is so much wonderful energy in the school... I am very lucky to have been a part of it!

Thank you Sloan and Jarrett.

I did a mural inside each of the schools ten classroom in addition to something outside each room and the big entrance mural... so, these photos are just a sampling of the work. Enjoy.
