Rehearsal (watercolor and ink) is the work of Berkeley-based illustrator, cartoonist and children’s book writer Gail Machlis. Machlis and her sister, Joan, are partners in Art Alchemy, which offers illustration services, prints and other distinctive “Machlis” products. Machlis says Rehearsal was, in part, inspired by another of  her  artistic endeavors—teaching violin to children and adults. View her original paintings and greeting cards at Fourth Street Studio in Berkeley and at State of the Arts Gallery in Olympia, Washington. Her latest book, How to Fly, can be seen and heard at http://play.goldmail.com/5r6qh8vc3gp6. Contact Machlis at www.artalchemy.biz.
