After reading Don Quixote Elaine decided to get her own books published.

She had two books sitting in her studio for over 30 years and was moved by

the celebration of story telling that Cervantes is so famous for.

“ManTime (The Spiral of Time)” and “Man Time II (Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Months, Years)”

were created as a viewpoint about man’s interaction with time.

They are made with the language of the heart...a universal one.

From Expressiones:
A body of drawings Miguel de Cervantes. Father inspired on of the father of modern Castilian and author of Don Quixote.
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, 29 September 1547 – 23 April 1616; age 68) was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright. Hismagnum opus Don Quixote, often considered the first modern novel, is a classic of Western literature, and is regarded amongst the best works of fiction ever written. His work is often considered amongst the most important works in all of Western literature. His influence on the Spanish language has been so great that Spanish is often called la lengua de Cervantes ("the language of Cervantes").

Friday, March 18, 6.00 P.M.-8.00 P.M.
Enrique Flores, “ 90 Miles to Habana “ ( Book Reading & Presentation. )
Based on Flores-Galbis's experiences, this novel is deeply affecting. In 1961, Julian and his two brothers leave Cuba with 14,000 other children, in what is known as "Operation Pedro Pan." History comes alive through the author's dazzling use of visual imagery and humor, which ranges from light to dark.

Artist's Statement

Painting a plein air painting in oils:

When I go out to a place to paint, I scan the whole view, smell the air, watch the comings and goings of the area. Something will call to me and I begin the painting.

The hours pass and a new understanding of the whole environment emerges. Birds, insects, trees, fish introduce themselves to me, and I am offered an insight into the wonders of the world we live in.

As the light changes, the clouds appear and move away, the shadows grow, the painting carries with it the message of the moment.

I like to apply the paint with a brush and a palette knife. The feel of the color being spread on the canvas is a kind of dance.

Southern New England is rich in open space and small towns and villages by the sea like Stonington have a storybook charm.

Caricature Illustration

2010-03-03T15:15:00.001-08:00

This is a caricature of Morely Safer drawn from life.

I was commissioned to do this for a fund raiser

and Mr Safer was kind enough to give 60 minutes

of his time for me to complete it.

Caricature of Imus

2010-02-10T14:57:00.000-08:00

Here is one of Imus!

He looked like he liked it.

I was commissioned by the event coordinator to

do a caricature of Don Imus as a thank you gift!

Corporate Caricatures and Big groups!

2010-02-10T14:34:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I'm commissioned to draw someone from the office or at the workplace.

I'm asked to draw groups of people in their corporate setting. They are printed on T Shirts, on

company info, on the internet, posters... and the list goes on.

Caricatures at parties and events

2010-02-10T14:18:00.000-08:00

I love to draw people live!

After 40 years, it's still a blast!

And the guests at the events seem to

enjoy the results!

Elaine is now booking caricature events for 2010
