Sketch on Canvas "Honeybee" painting by Amy Crehore

I'm back to work on my little "Honeybee" canvas today. This painting is for the Know Exhibition with Murphy Art Books at the Art Now Fair, Art Basel Miami. It will take place on December 6-9, 2007, 10am-8pm, Claremont Hotel, 1700 Collins Ave. (17th St.), Miami Beach, FLORIDA. There will be a special website for this show and I will blog about it later. Once again, Mark Murphy has invited a list of amazing artists to participate.

I will head down to L.A. this Thursday for the GREEN show opening on Saturday where I will exhibit my "Deja Vu Waltz" , a large painting that includes all of my recent characters.
