The winter doldrums have definitely set in. I know you east coast folks hear me. In California we are suffering from a significant drought. All said, doesn't hopping on a plane to an island resort just sound perfect!
That thought kept going through my head as I made this map of the Virgin Islands. Not a bad thought to have on loop.
I've always loved the wild creatures but have renewed this love by seeing through my baby son's eyes how facsinating animals are. Just watching our kitty play with string makes him giggle.
I've started a number of sketches for some new prints that focus on the animal world. Getting inspiration from the creatures in the forest that surrounds Quail Lane here in Tahoe.
On a side note, although the animals are inanimate, I always have loved a good diorama. Here are some elk from the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History.
When I was a kid in LA the summer was all about getting to the beach...And not just any beach, Zuma. So, many good memories are there. I can't wait for us to take our little one to play in the waves when he is big enough.
Our most recent map is one of this beloved coast line, from Malibu to Venice.
