Landscape paintings can be so cliché and hard to appreciate. However, Stephen Hannock’s paintings caught my eye while dining at Gramercy Tavern. I just enjoy the softness and the simplicity of his work. His color blending is genius and his landscapes so dreamy.
A friend of mine sent me a menu she designed in Word with clip art she found on the web. I tried to convince her that art downloaded from the web would not print well. She was nervous about any changes since her wedding date was only a few weeks away. Instead, I thought I would show her. I scanned her invitation and used the artwork (flower) to redesign her menu in my favorite program ever: Illustrator. I would shoot myself if I had to design in Word. Ok maybe not shoot myself, but I would cry a lot.
Sometimes I feel like this is the only way to keep my plants alive… draw them.
