The Queen’s Swans

June 24, 2008

Last weekend I finished an Artist Book about the mute swans in Windsor, England. A couple of years ago when I was visiting our daughter in England my grand daughter and I went down to the river Thames with a handful of folded Rives paper ; Earlier I had used water color to create a background for our line drawings. We spent the morning sketching the swans. The book is finished now with some stamped text. I’ve added a swan from my other grand daughter’s barbie collection. I plan to enter The Queen’s Swans in Book Works 2008, Pacific Center for Book Arts Triennial Members’ Exhibition.

I took a couple of courses from BetterPhoto.com while I was away from my studio. It was fun. People from different parts of the United States and from other countries were in my classes. Each week we would get an assignment. We’d work on it for a week, submit it and then get an online critique from our teacher. Besides getting feedback from our teacher we learned from each other. Some of my photos are there. Try googling http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/gallery.asp?mem=275274

Feeling soft mud under my feet 

I took this picture of the fountain.

The sprinklers were on.
