This squirrel has been a fixture outside my bedroom window so I painted him. I posted the paintings on next door & several ladies on my block commented that he spends time outside THEIR bedroom windows too. My husband now refers to this squirrel as ‘Tom’. #watercolor #watercolour #art #squirrel

Goat Rock Beach in Sonoma County. One of my favorite places. This watercolor is so soothing I can just sit and stare at it for quite a while. I hope it soothes you too. #watercolor #art #nature #ocean

My husband and I got matching Hokas. This color was sold out before it ever hit the web site. Getting both a mens and a womens in the right sizes took quite a lot of sloothing (and patience). Here they are!!
