Saturday I mailed out our sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project 2012 ‘s January 31 deadline-whew.
It’s a project I’ll always remember because it’s a collaboration with my son Julian. Julian inspired the concept, and we worked together truly as a team.
While I will forever treasure the memories of being a mom for my children when they were small, it’s a different kind of joy to work with my grown-up son as a friend and fellow artist. Also a joy that our book will take a journey that we aren’t able to take ourselves, to fourteen cities around the world, and then return home to live at the Brooklyn Art Library.
I’ll be putting together a PDF of Water Music soon. There are more collaborations with my grown-up kids coming this year. I’m looking forward to sharing them with you.

Thanks for taking a look at my Sketchbook! I look forward to seeing yours and your son’s entry! I haven’t got a son but maybe next year I’ll do one with the cat!

Sounds like a plan;)
A good plan I hope!

Oh, you know cats, only if he/she feels like it. But, if they are into it, you’ve got their full attention;)
I’m so happy I found your blog!

The cover of the book look fantastic. What an inspiring project to do together with your son – and then to have it go around the world. I look forward seeing the PDF. Congratulations!
