Feeling the spirit(s) this year apparently. Been -way- too long since I made tissue ghosties for Halloween. 👻

(Have a slightly big project of small things in the works, halfway done. More on that soon!)

Just a pretty picture of some of my favorite "large" paint brushes, as a little creative warm-up. I say large, but I need to be brave and go bigger still, sometime in the future. Being an illustrator for decades has honed my love for a simple line, so it's hard to let go and be bold sometimes. 🤪🎨💚

Happy place. Time to make some custom colors, now that my gifted half pans are all organized. #watercolor #worldwatercolormonth

At hour 7 right now, my first ink piece in a while!

I'm currently working on an illustration inspired by artist Mabz Brisson (aka chalkedbymabz - not sure she's here) via #workshopweek2025 but forgot to get a shot of the pencil lines. You can still see them under the ink! Next step, tiny detail lines. This might become a watercolor, we'll see.

A charming duo! Dianthus features fringed petals with colors ranging from pink to red and white, layered one atop the other. Chamomile is known for its dainty scent, white petals, and yellow centers. A gorgeous spring celebration!

The Bewick's Wren is a small, energetic songbird native to North America, and I hear them almost daily during the warmer months. They do the cutest things with their little tails! 💚

A vibrant field of blooming lavender, rendered in a soft, watercolor-like style. The delicate purple flowers rise above lush green stems, creating a calming and fragrant scene that evokes the tranquility of summer afternoons.

Finally fully dressed and on the wall. 😍 If you love Michael Whelan too, you can find him here on Bluesky and follow along for all the fun details he shares about his paintings! Alt text has all the details of the piece displayed.

The family needed a little more color, I thought. Rainbow baby's breath and beautiful garden roses from Trader Joe's turned into a crazy exploding arrangement. #pickmeup

Tea leaf babies, as promised! Lemon balm in red cups, chamomile in the clear, and struggling but still trying tulsi basil in the recycled pots. Hoping that in a couple more weeks, they will be big enough that the birbs won't steal them!

I found some _gnarly_ moss while out and about this past weekend. I love it when it looks comprised of more than one type growing in the same place! It's even better when it happens to be taking over human-made objects.💚

With a trilling song and quick movements, the sweet little Dark-Eyed Junco bird brings joy even on the greyest PNW days. 💚

No idea where this new project is going to go, but having fun being back in the saddle.

California poppies are effortlessly beautiful, with silky petals that almost seem to glow in the sun. I love how they open in the morning and close at dusk, echoing a rhythm of life that speaks deeply to me.

Now up at my little shop! 💚

A friend's challenge led me to make this cutie for my niece, back in 2020. Can confirm he is an excellent sticker; one lives on my laptop now.

A trifecta of must-have books from @jamesgurneyart.bsky.social - truly a wealth of knowledge. Just got the top book in the mail today and I am so excited to dig in! 💚

Celebrating World #Poetry Day on accident by listening to the audiobook version of "In Calabria" by Peter S. Beagle (who also authored "The Last Unicorn"). Set in Italy, it is a short-form study of perfection. One of the characters writes poems in his spare time and the little snippets are lovely. 💚

One of my favorite watercolor pieces is a ffxiv-inspired Delivery Moogle, now available at my little shop! You can get it on magnets, postcards, pouches, and more. He's so cheerful, I smile every time I see him. I hope he makes you smile, too! 😍 #art #fanart #ffxiv

Horses, pegasi, and unicorns have been great loves of mine all my life.
