This latest painting will be hanging with me for a while.

I was contemplating family, loss and existential loneliness while painting… and this super bright painting popped out 😅😅 just your normal everyday thoughts. 🌞

(I’m fine just missing some people 🫶)

Desert scene ready to be framed. I wanted to play with making the shadows purple, which is slowly becoming my favorite color to use when painting 😊💜

My dad regularly tapes a quote on his mirror, (ex. in last slide). My version is stickers 😄

Lol as a teen I thought this dorky but now I love it. A little gut check on how you’re living day to day 💪💖

I’ve never met an artist who hasn’t had a somewhat strange relationship with selling their art 🙃😄 me 2 friend.

But with reluctance and mixed feelings, my Etsy is live. 😆 Link in bio if you wanna check out original paintings, woodcuts, stickers and prints 💖

I made another pea pod for a gift, this time more blue-green than yellow-green.

I’m happy with it but wow didn’t know how unhappy my brain would be during the process of painting the same design 😅

Crab in a box! I painted the crab woodcut then put it on a little riser so it would pop out to meet the frame 😊🦀

I often like how a palette looks after I’ve made a number of paintings. I recently decided to use a canvas board for a palette; I just varnished and framed it and now it’s its own little piece!
