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 🫶)

Freshly framed! I love the way a frame pulls together a finished painting 😄✨

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 😊💜

New little painting ready to be framed! Inspired by the cantaloupes from our garden, soo much tastier than from the store 😋

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 quietly launched my Etsy recently, & while I was at a family reunion a stranger purchased something. I was:

a) very excited, and

b) totally panicked that I couldn’t ship it immediately / that I hadn’t put the shop on vacation mode bc I hadn’t expected that at all 😆

They were understanding 🙏❤️

😂😂 right!

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 think most common if not mass manufactured in a mold would be carved wood! It’s definitely a pricier shape to make, I’ll be scouting my local framing stores for options

Lol maybe not! At first I thought, “surely this should be framed in gold,” but now I’m waffling

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 😅

Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after lunch we all got to go down to the basement for an hour, throw on a smock, and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's eccentric, slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place.

So true, she has also exceeded her cuteness quota for the day and deserves scritches and greenies 😋😸
