A Creative Collaboration!
Since I recently completed a revision of our next book, it was time to begin the arduous task of creating the illustrations. (I'm the designer of the art, while Michael is the talented oil painter!)
Once we had finalized the still life arrangement, Michael began the first of twenty oil paintings necessary to complete our next Lindstrom Wintertime Tale - The Whim of Winter.
Here is the almost-complete painting. (Michael just informed me he wants to work on the wool tartan scarf.) We need to complete two illustrations a month to be on schedule to begin formatting next January!
From time to time throughout this year I'll post an update on the progress of our collaboration for The Whim of Winter!
