Manor Painting 2

Here is another painting I did for the Fromage Manor set for Rex and Boots: Super Sleuths. In the show, Lady Fromage longs for a simple life in the country. I painted this landscape to represent that. Although I was working with acrylics, I wanted the painting to appear as if it had been done in oils. I painted this picture very quickly to give it a loose expressionistic feel.

Don’t miss Rex and Boots: Super Sleuths at the NoHo Arts Center on Saturday, Oct. 28 at 11 am and 1 pm.

Here is an excerpt of an interview I conducted with Rex and Boots puppeteers Sean Johnson and Anita Coulter.

PJ: What is next for you and Swazzle?

SJ: This is such an exciting time for our company because there is so much on the horizon. We have two new puppet shows in development for summer 2007. Two episodes of our monthly web series, “The Swazzle Workshop,” have just premiered, and we are in the process of producing more. Plus, we’re creating new products for our online store, and Swazzle.com is getting a record number of hits as we continue to update and expand the site.

AC: More shows! We're working on additional videos for the "Swazzle Workshop" feature on our website (www.swazzle.com) and gearing up for next summer's shows. There's always something new to work on!
