I painted this when Russia first invaded the Ukraine. It’s the Ukrainian trident painted w/ flowers to represent their floral crowns. A painting meant to combine their of strength & culture. Today, I continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for democracy and their sovereignty.

I haven’t painted in months—since my mom went on hospice. And then, she passed away at the end of January, and I haven’t been able to bring myself to pick up the paintbrush still. I know I need to. I have a show coming up in April, but it is just so hard to get motivated. #art #grief

We used to live in Colorado, and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss it there.

It’s been awhile since I have painted a landscape. I need to get back into it. Until then, here is one I painted and sold last year.

I named this watercolor Field Mouse but my husband likes to call him Gus.

I really struggle to paint or draw people. In other words, I haven’t been able to do it. I made a goal to work on people as a subject last year, but didn’t really follow through much. One painting that didn’t really satisfy me. Maybe this year will be the year to try it again.

I am OBSESSED with this tree I am making from thrifted and antiqued vintage jewelry. It’s a surprise for a friend of mine for Christmas!

I haven’t painted with watercolors for a little while. A tree swallow painting for the day.

I never tire of painting flowers. Well maybe sometimes, but that feeling is fleeting.

I’m always looking for inspiration when painting. If you have a landscape or floral or critter picture you are willing to share with me to paint, post it below. If I paint it, I’ll post the painting for you.
*Photo must have been taken by you.*

This is the largest painting I have ever done. A commissioned 72x36” landscape for a client who found me on social media.

If you are in the Atlanta area this weekend, come see me in Virginia Highland for the Winterfest market, where I will have new art and hand painted ornaments.

My mom has been on Hospice for a few weeks now. Watching her decline has been the one of hardest things I’ve done. I am just trying to keep myself distracted in the few short moments she sleeps.
