Somehow I always find myself sketching while listening. Maybe it helps me absorb inspiration and information, and I especially enjoy hearing different points of view. With conferences on zoom, my victims have no choice in the matter and this time my unsuspecting victims were editors Denene Millner, Denene Millner Books/Simon and Schuster; Michelle Frey, Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers; Farrin Jacobs, Little Brown Books for Young Readers; Cynthia Leitich Smith, Heartdrum/HarperCollins: Emma Ledbetter, Abrams Books for Young Readers. #scbwi #scbwiwinter22 #kidlit #kidlitart #zoomsketch #procreateillustration #taylorpaintings https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7d_SbPOUc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Many hands created this piece of artwork at The #twentytwenty Art Show put on by @alfacharlie.co. It’s satisfying to put a brush in people’s hands, and fascinating to witness the diverse stories that came out the end of the brush and onto the canvas. @davidsharpfound @sddesignweek @quartyardsd @neyeneschprinters (at Quartyard) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTqnj6xlMMe/?utm_medium=tumblr

A piece of my heart is still in France and I look forward to the day we can all travel safely. If you are lucky enough to have access to a vaccine, please get vaccinated! Meanwhile, enjoy this sampling of seasons in France. #art #oiloncanvas #artinstruction #eastvillagesd #oilpainting #artquest #paintingclass #artqueststudio #taylorpaintings #artmatters #artsandiego #France #Paris #Le Mont Ventoux #seasons #ᴠᴀᴄᴄɪɴᴇssᴀᴠᴇʟɪᴠᴇs #betterdays https://www.instagram.com/p/CSfpnMsleKk/?utm_medium=tumblr

While listening to Cecilia Yung speak this morning with @jransomillustr, about the theme of Evolution and Metamorphosis, at the #scbwibigfiveoh Illustrator Intensive, I was inspired. I brought my quick pencil sketch, drawn while listening yesterday to the fantastic talk with @arthuralevine and @shauncytan, and attempted a metamorphosis in #procreate . Happy 50th to SCBWI and congrats to the Portfolio Showcase winners! #scbwisketch #kidlitart #scbwiillustrators #artqueststudio #taylorpaintings #artmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CSFQ_9Ap-by/?utm_medium=tumblr

While the passport collects dust instead of stamps, and the wanderlust feels overwhelming, I am reminded of this quote from Marcel Proust in La Prisonnière, 1925: “The only true voyage of discovery, the only fountain of Eternal Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to behold the hundred universes that each of them beholds.” #oneworld #oiloncanvas #morrocco #directrelief #nomad #eastvillagesd #oilpainting #artquest #paintingclass #artqueststudio #taylorpaintings #art #artmatters #artsandiego (at Morocco) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRzgU2rj141/?utm_medium=tumblr

I miss painting with my PAPASAN buddies on Mondays, and spending time in our beloved Balboa Park. Meanwhile I can catch a view of the park from across Florida Canyon, amidst a sea of yellow wildflowers. Strange days indeed. #LoveYourSD #morleyfield #balboaparksandiego @neyeneschprinters #taylorpaintings #oilpainting #pleinairpainting #pleinair https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yKY1EDj2-/?igshid=1282qx7xe10x1
