For #WorldWatercolorMonth I’m going to try to keep up with the painting everyday, but ouch that’s tough because yikes July is busy! Here’s day 1 & 2. Prompts: radiant & espresso.

Life with a solar-powered dachshund means a lot of standing around while Silas rolls around in grass. #dachshund

During my recent trip to New Orleans for the annual @pcaaca.bsky.social conference, I did some #ink and #watercolor cartoon sketches. I’m so grateful to have gotten back into my creative journey as an artist. Used a handcrafted pocket journal and my Art Toolkit.

Watercolor and ink sketch of two tarot cards (The Star and the 10 of Cups), which featured in a tarot reading I did. Deck I used was Eight Coins Tattoo Deck.

Silas votes no on hail, especially as river of hail: a new discovery we made today. I couldn’t capture the impromptu flooding creek of the parking lot, but it was wild.

Sometimes you just want to lounge all day, or so says Silas. I agree kid. He’s so funny by the way. #dachshund

Silas had some good walks today, but he’s still annoyed that I’m doing homework for my drawing class instead of petting him.

It’s a wild Saturday night in our house. Research, crafting, and snuggles with Silas.

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Terre Haute. Silas decided we needed to hang on the patio and then take a two mile hike.

Silas and I had a productive day with a few walks, some cleaning, some writing, some editing, and some painting, though Si argues we should have been outside longer. Blessed Imbolc!

Silas has decided that the rain is frustrating (this is always his take by the way), so he’s pouting. Dachshund drama…
