A Maine Storyboard



Just thinking about favorite places in Maine.
At this moment in the background of my mind 
I am hearing the Beatles: 
"Love, Love, Love..."

Hmm...What to do with this? 
Is it a storyboard for some paintings? 
A storyboard for a little book?
Might I add text & turn it into a graphic novel of sorts? 
Hmmm....

      I have a book in mind, but need help to figure out how to organize it, and how to DO IT! Its idea is evolving though. Even if I never publish it, I'm hoping or organize my travels journals into a book. Thanks, as always, for your kind words Monique! (As we know, I also am encouragig you to create a book to publish because I would love to buy it!)

    I've said it before when you post a selection of sketches like this, there's a book loitering somewhere inside you As Monique said ' Do it '

      Thank you Barbara. Just Do It is a practice I struggle with, but perhaps I'm getting closer...

      Kathy, the problem with me is so many good ideas but difficulty with following through on a sustained, longer project...Thank you for your comment!

    It would make a beautiful poster.

      I've been working with "series" in the last several years, so thank you for reinforcing that...As always, I am in process, but this time I'm hoping to create some new end products too.

      Beth, it was a cool process. I started with one thought/idea/subject and then ended up with directions.

    I like your idea of turning it into a graphic novel of sorts. Or one maybe of relationships of your graphics -- sort of a twinning of their roots or how do they relate to each other. Fun storyboard -- barbara

    I think a book would be lovely. Your paintings are so full of life! Do you sketch with pen first and then add watercolor?

    I think I know all these spots. Maine: so different; so memorable; so picturesque.

    Ah, so many possibilities! I saw it first as a poster. But maybe you will do a book? Maybe you will say, "Oh, I'll just try this as a book, no pressure, don't have to keep it that way, . . . " -- and then see what happens, mm? xx
