Watercolour painting is as relaxing as a stroll through the woods. It can be quite meditative ✨

Geese are a bit controversial here in Vancouver.. but i personally love them. They have a strong sense of community and protect their youngs ferociously.
(Plus, seeing all the cute little fluffy babies in the spring.. 🥹)

Can we all agree that chipmunks are the cutest? These little guys came up really close on one of my last hike, and made for amazing close up photos! BTW they move really fast, so life drawing them would be challenging! Much better to sketch them later on, from reference photos

Today’s rain mood.. it has been a real, authentic wetcoast day, and the question was: should i nap? ..Or should i nap? 💤

I made this tiny obscure doodle 2 years ago of a bug riding in an acorn 😅 and it got buried in my sketchbooks.. until i decided to revisit it last month. This is why sketcbooks are such an important part of the whole creation process: to explore ideas, to get messy, to play!

When you hang out a lot with your crow friend.. it finds its way into your art!
Edgar (yes, i named him 😄) likes to sit beside me, sometimes for 20-30 minutes periods, giving me plenty of time to sketch him 🍃 🐦⬛
