C.M. Morrison Studio: Upcoming Illustrating Project

C.M. Morrison Studio has been asked to design the book cover and illustrate the upcoming Seniors In Motion, Inc. cookbook, which will be a collection of participants’ favorite and “famous” home cooked recipes. All profits made from the cookbook will go towards Seniors In Motion, Inc, a non-profit senior workout facility, located in Denton Texas.

Project: "Big Mess" (Joint Commission With A 5 yr-old and 1 yr-old)

A lot of projects being completed.

Recently I was asked to do a joint painting with my niece and nephew...here's the kicker, the nephew is 5 and the niece is 1. This might have been karma from my childhood, where I use to lock my sister in a cedar chest. However, being the coolest uncle ever, and going on 24 hours of no sleep, I agreed wholeheartedly.

During the next couple of weeks, I will be positing updates, sketches, and the process in action. This is where I know my first tour of college will be an advantage...I was an elementary education major.

Hence why we're calling this project: "Bless This Big Mess."

Auction Update: "Well Traveled

 

"Well Traveled" 

(Watercolors, Project Notes)

 Last night I was finalizing my notes for an upcoming painting, which will be auctioned to benefit a local senior gym. Annually the senior gym has what they call their "Homecoming". Homecoming is an opportunity for all the gym participants and their family, to come for a fun evening of food and drinks. 

I want to play off the word homecoming or "coming home". Face it, we all travel our own destined paths. Along the way we walk, run, climb, dodge, and trudge, sometimes every day. We finally feel at home when we can slip off our well traveled shoes on the welcome mat, and walk in where it's dry and warm.

Side Note: IT'S MUD ON THE SHOE.

"Frozen Grapes"

(Acrylics, 18 x 24)

I was looking for something random to paint last night, so I went freezer diving. It's amazing what you can find at the back of your freezer! ;) Wasn't too concerned with the subject. What caught my eye was the colors and consistency of the frozen grapes, and the ice that developed on the grapes. Great snack as well! :)

"Run Away & Join The Circus"

"Runaway & Join The Circus" (Acrylics)

Prints Available.

As a child, I had hermit crabs as pets. The crabs were always so eager to move out of their shells, to find some place new. They were always eager to run away. So why not run away to join the circus?! This hermit crab is now taken residence in a spacious clown horn, and is enjoying its new career as a clown.

Sorry. . .it was a long weekend.

"Citrus" Painting Experiment

"Citrus" (Acrylics, Hydrogen Peroxide)

 "Citrus" is a painting consisting of acrylics paints and hydrogen peroxide. In experimenting a concept for an upcoming project, I liked how the shapes started to look like the fruit I was enjoying. 


I really like how the hydrogen peroxide gave the paint the shiny gloss for the citrus.  I'm looking forward to experimenting with other concepts, using this method.
