Great grey owl that lives near us. (in Mayan blue, handmade bone black and ochre yellow) makes me realize how important wild spaces in the city are. getting ready for @lcartwalk with @leilaniambroseart #lakecountry #lakecountryartwalk #owl #greatgreyowl #watercolour #naturalpaint #naturalpigments

Wandering through my sketchbook with a migraine hangover. Thinking a lot about chronic pain these days. It’s important to have a tether in these times like the grateful feeling I have for family, my cats, the rain on the leaves and the fresh smoke free air. #migraine #sketchbook #draw #art

Experimenting with iron and tannin painting. I am a wee bit disappointed as I made up three different strengths that appeared different shades at first but over the day all bled into one shade. Hmm, maybe next time I will try “sizing” my cloth with soya milk to prevent the bleeding.

Just starting my onions and eggplants and peppers. With all this insecurity, Food security is on my mind. Gardening is a steep learning curve, but it’s so worth it. A big reason I garden is to give away food to people. #gardeningfeed #elbowsup #canadian #canadaisnotforsale #localbc #BritishColumbia

#addBirder just to add context to the above illustration: hours behind the camera, hours drawing, hours painting, hours learning illustrator… but loving it all #hummingbirds #birds #painting #art #canadianartist #sarahhopeart

little by little I’m learning illustration and pattern design, these tiny calliopes travel 1000’s of kms every year. Finding their way back to the fireweed in the ditch beside my house… #illustration #birds #hummingbirds #patterndesign #sarahhopeart

My art is: Canadian made, produced, packaged, massaged, sweetly talked to, cared for, envisioned, loved, created next to and within a Canadian forest and near Canadian wildlife. #art #painting #canadianmade #watercolor

This Female Rufous may be more subtle and the yin to the flashy male, but she will still fight for her territory and babies. I had fun going big with watercolour on canvas. #art #sarahhopeart #shuswapart #bcartist #canadianart #hummingbird #pollinators

Looking forward to our opening at Atelier Gallery Feb 7th 4-8 #bcartist #sarahhopeart
