A few weeks ago we were invited to Nami’s Sixth Annual Cheesefest in Central Park. (Nami is Lita’s editor at Hyperion—they are just starting work on their fifth book together.) We were in New York already that weekend because of a family wedding so it couldn’t have been better timing. It was a hot day in the sun, but was perfect under the trees just outside of Sheep Meadow. Nami and her husband Quinn are never without guitars so we were treated to some great songs and music (and 26 varieties of cheese).

But despite requests from the audience, they didn’t play (the Effin Gs) Randolph Caldecott.

Perhaps they’re still working on the acoustic version. They have a web site for their band here.

A few days later we heard from Nami again with some good news—One Thousand Tracings has just gone back for it’s 3rd printing, and this print run is the biggest one yet!

I’m excited to be on the homestretch painting for the Yellowstone Moran book. All the interior art is finished and I’m just starting the cover! Sasha has been supervising carefully as usual.

I’ll be attending the NEIBA convention in Boston this September. Hope to see any of you who may be attending as well.

Dave and I just returned from Yellowstone National Park. It was a fantastic trip!! I did a lot of field sketches and color studies, gathering reference to finish the final paintings on my book about Thomas Moran. Now I’m home completing the last of the paintings. This has been a really fun project.
