Shhhhh! Don’t tell anyone – it’s my new piece.
I’ve started a new colored pencil piece, and I had hoped to have more work done before an initial post, but I’m off on a spur-of-the-moment vacation tomorrow, and didn’t want to go another week or so without any news. This piece is coming from source photographs I took for potential pieces on Wellesley. As you may recall, my last piece was a Wellesley-themed drawing for the Wellesley Society of Artists 75th Anniversary show this spring. This was a close contender for that show, and I decided I liked the humor and whimsy of it enough to do the piece. It’s a view of the fish tank outside the Children’s section of the Wellesley Public Library, and they have this funny sticker on the glass with a request, and all of the fish are glub glubbing looking at you. .. are you being quiet enough? I wished I could have held the “punch line” back until the end, but I was anxious to make sure that the lettering worked and was in place and not going to fade away, so I put it in at the beginning. Oh well, the cat’s out of the bag!
