The show will be available to view online at swoongallery starting July 27th (Friday.) If you'd like to be part of the show preview so that you can claim your favorite pieces before the general public, email hello (at) swoongallery.com There will also be a number of smaller watercolors available.

Alexandra Levasseur's Mesmerizingly Colorful, Sketchy Girls PART II
Here are some wonderful work-in-progress photos from the fabulous Alexandra Levasseur, whom I interviewed last week. I was truly intrigued by her process and super curious about the method by which she combines acrylics and colored pencils. These give a lovely peek into her universe.
Enjoy, and be sure to check out her website and shop!

Thank you, Hayley!
I got something lovely in the post. A couple of thank-you cards from one of my fabulous collectors, and a wonderful letter and three fantastic drawings from their daughter, Hayley! I may have gotten one or two tears in my eyes to see such effort in those sweet drawings. Thank you, guys. You made my day ^^/
