Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve been here. Taking a quick break to show you what I’m working on. Wait. I can’t do that right now, so I’ll show you my work space for today. I’ve got my cup of coffee,cleaned up a bit, and I’m ready to work. More to come in the near future.

I haven’t been posting much lately because I’ve been busy revising two middle grade novels and making art.
Having fun with 5x5” mixed media series. The attached is one I’m calling Tequila Sunrise .

Day 8 #Birbfest.challenge is the Northern Potoo. These muppet-like birds with large googly yellow eyes make me laugh. 😆 They do, however, have a scary ghost-like call that would be a bit unnerving if you were alone in the dark in the jungle.

A bright @birbfest.challenge bird for a dreary, cold day. Day 5, the Crimson Hummingbird. Still a few days behind. 🤪
Using watercolor, colored pencil, back sharpie…anything laying around.
