Sketchbook: Jessie’s Project

February 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I am working on two pieces for someone who is very special to me.  She has a fabulous home, great style, and would love two large canvases, of different sizes, above her fireplace.  Her style if very Mod mets Art Deco.  Her colors are very strong, brilliant oranges, with a subtle ice blue/green, and loves the clean lines of white on white.  She has a beautiful family, which includes her, her husband, and their little boy, Ezra.  I have been sketching a few different ideas and I love the idea of flowers, plants, trees, or seedlings, because they give you the idea of growing and building.  We haven’t quite decided on which ones we will be using, but I wanted to post the sketches that I have.

    Hey Sarah,
    You have done a great job here. I look forward to seeing more. You are truly a talented woman. The book you did was beyond compare. It was good to see you and Matt even under the sad circumstance. Keep up the good work. Love you, Sally and Reg
