“Moon Watch”
Painted on a preserved river birch leaf
I’ve had the image of a doe looking up at a full moon stuck in my head for quite a while now, and I finally had a moment to get it down on a leaf! She looks like she’s got a story to tell 🦌🌙

A tiny chapel tucked in autumn mountains, painted on a pumpkin seed 🍂
This weekend, we drove past the little mountain church where we were married. It was all surrounded in vibrant reds and golds, and so beautiful that now the image is stuck in my head 🍁
