Tuesday at noon we had a new class on origami featuring the lovely and illustrious Karen Elaine karenelaine.com teaching. We made talking fish, from a design by Junior Fritz Jaquet juniorfritzjacquet.com/jfj/formatio... (in French) which were a lot of silly fun.

A floral meadow. An atmospheric study of a sunlit meadow filled with scattered wildflowers beneath a serene sky. Gentle light and layered washes create a peaceful, meditative mood. #art #watercolour #watercolor #landscapeasrt #landscapepainting

I learned how to make blizzard books, following the instructions in Hedi Kyle's book "The Art of the Fold", which is awesome. These make a booklet of pockets that you can use to slip things into. #bookbindingart #bookfolding

Second in my “Plein Car” series — Wentworth Park pavilion on a rainy day, drawn from the parking lot. Ink lines, bold brush details, and layered crayon colour bring the scene to life without ever stepping into the rain. #art #pleinair #InkAndWash #neocolourII #sketching

Exploring the surreal side of landscapes with rainbow-colored clouds and layered washes. Painted with MaimeriBlu watercolors and a nod to traditional expressive landscape painting. 🌈☁️ #landscapeart #art #painting #watercolour #watercolor

Study of Grand Prismatic Spring, a visually striking natural wonder. I wanted to express the way heat, minerals, and microbes create vibrant rings of color that seem to pulse with life. #watercolour #Yellowstone #GrandPrismaticSpring #geothermal #art #painting #landscapepainting

Day 22 of #WWM25! The Grantham twins were *eager* to try their new jackets in the snoooh. Phthalo Green (with Alizarin) makes a shadowy mix for those puffy coats. ❄️🎄 #WorldWatercolorMonth #WorldWatercolorMonth2025 #art #painting #watercolor #watercolour #ink #scannedimage #nofilter
