My day job is being an art teacher. Mostly I draw things I’ve drawn before in demonstrations and the like but yesterday I demonstrated a perspective exercise for the first time and I’m actually proud of how it turned out. #arteducation #teacherlife #geometric

One thing I do to be a bit thrifty and to make sure I’m feeding my family well is whenever we buy rotisserie chicken, I turn the carcass into bone broth. #homecooking #bonebroth

We’re hanging out at the park on a beautiful August evening. It rained earlier so it smells so good. #petrichor #summerevenings #slowliving #august

Well it certainly looks rustic! Here is my July 2025 pie, only a day late - a peach galette. #apieeverymonth #pie #homebaked

I’m thinking of doing some folk art in my house. I made this design for my office doors. What do you think? #folkart #homedecor #doordecor #cottagecore #diy

Sometimes it helps to focus on one small thing that you can control. Today I cleaned and repaired my noodle board and topped it with a bouquet of harsh false goldenasters in a milk glass vase and everything is just a tiny bit more cheerful at Sunhaven Hollow. #wildflowers #cottagecore #homedecor

We don’t even go anywhere on the 4th of July anymore. We just sit in our driveway and watch our neighbors set off the fireworks they bought in Wyoming. #july4 #independenceday #fireworks

I started these petunias outdoors in this container from seed and not even two months later, they look amazing! #flowers #summergarden #containergarden

Lots going on lately at work and in life. But today, I matched with the #wordlebot. I don’t know why this is so satisfying.

It’s Art Show and testing season, and this year I’m also trying to get some seniors across that graduation stage in a month. But I’ve still found some time to work on a silly little painting project. Can you guess what it is? #artsky #edusky #arteducation #painting #wip

We’re celebrating my son’s birthday tomorrow and he wanted an ice cream cake. Unfortunately, he can’t have regular dairy, so I decided to make a dairy-free version. It looks very rustic but it seems to have come together well. Hopefully it will taste good! #what’scooking #baking #momsky #cake

Here is today’s sketchbook art! It’s an egg pattern (I searched for images of fried eggs and drew the most interesting outlines, then added the yolks). I know this is kind of a silly sketchbook exercise but it was fun and I like how it turned out! #artsky #illustration #artjournal #dailyart

I spent my #sketchbook time yesterday and today making these sort of folk art snowflake patterns with Posca pens, a dotting tool, and acrylic paint. I really love a lot of elements on both pages.
