In a certain city Puebla, the church bells rang signaling to the people of the arrival of the armies. The people grabbed their machetes and defeated the French. As I was applying the color to the ink drawing, I thought of how similar and timely this is. Russia invading the smaller nation of Ukraine. Many citizens came to fight with little assistance at first. This is a time to celebrate the courage of the regular people standing up to the neighborhood bully!

It’s called Medicine Hat Winter Teal produced by Monteverde. One of my favorite inks is Monteverde’s California Teal. I wanted to create a cooler teal with a silver shimmer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an ink with a backstory! 29 years ago I met Julie. We were in an art class together and started dating. We began getting serious and started to talk about marriage. Over Thanksgiving, we went up to see her family. They lived in the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. I came from Houston, Texas and was immediately struck by how very cold it was! There was so much snow! The roads were so slick. I also remember the beautiful frosty trees and the acoustic silence caused by the thick snow. Julie told me that her hometown at the time in the mid 90s was mostly teal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext year we will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. I wanted to create an ink that would recall the memory of that week in Medicine Hat. I wanted it to contain not only the coolness of winter frost, but also the coziness and warmth that I felt from Julie and her amazing family. I call it Medicine Hat Winter Teal produced by Monteverde. I’m so grateful to be able to share this with you!
