Art of the Craft Show - November 2008

I'm going to be part of the Art of the Craft show again at our Reading Public Museum. Last year was a great show and i was glad to be invited back. There is a link to the website in the title but they don't have a lot of info up about it yet (scroll to the bottom when you click on the link). They have used my artwork in their promotional pieces for the show which was very exciting and unexpected! See the trees?

Butterflies and Tidal Waves

I'm working on this for a local contest - 6 winners will have their artwork posted on billboards in our town...the size was a little challenging - it was 7 x 20". It gave me the chance to work on something about the Butterfly Effect theory which states that a butterfly's flapping wings can effect the weather in a drastic way somewhere across the world. I think this is true pretty much about everything...one small gesture (good or bad) can cause huge consequences somewhere else...what do you think?
you can also see it here without being cut off at the right side...
