Worked a little more on the recent spread in my sketchbook. I love doing these kinds of pages because there's not much thinking while I do. I just pull out paints one at a time from a group I've gathered to the side. #artjournals #sketchbook

An #artjournal spread and my baby-boo, Ruthie. Fortunately, the monsoon is trying to make its presence known, so we've got clouds and cooler temps today. It's 92 right now! For us, that's cool.

Working on more rural type landscapes. Making up my own villages. It's really just more of an experiment with certain materials and certain combos of them.

Another imaginary town and some other practice in the sketchbook/art journal. When the real world gets too much, jump in your journal and create ANYTHING. #artjournal #sketchbook

Thinking of those in Minnesota today. And those who are heading out to No Kings protests. STAY SAFE.
Finished my spread of Passau, Germany, one of our stops on the Danube.
Ruthie's bummed because it's SO hot out. Supposed to be 108 today, 113 tomorrow. #sketchbook #artjournal

Working with Neo II's today. I like that they're water-soluble. I also used a little Holbein gouache here and there. This is an imaginary town...

I've been experimenting and just painting to DO something. I'm so discombobulated right now with everything that's going on. #artjournal

I've been sketching and painting in my handmade art journal (Fabriano paper). I'm going to capture a river cruise this way. I want to loosen up more, but still feel rigid. I got bogged down halfway through but pushed myself to finish. I'll do spots for a while to build up the muscle... #artjournal
