Word of the Day, Part 2



A Nightingale is the commonly used definition for Philomel, but one reference defined it as a stringed instrument similar to a violin. This bird is flying to Deb & Doug wood, two designer/illustrators with uniquely different & wonderful styles. Instead of watercolor paper, I used chip board. I like the way the gouache sits on the surface of the board.

Word of the Day



Whenever I read the word "inchoate" in an article or story, I have to look up the definition, then promptly forget the meaning and have to look it up again the next time I come across it. Maybe if I associate the word with the picture, I won't forget it...(can anyone say visual learner?)
Chris Roberts-Antieau, choate artist extraordinaire, will be receiving this card.
