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 πŸ˜…πŸ˜… 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 πŸ˜„βœ¨

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 πŸ˜ŠπŸ’œ

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

When the urge to doodle strikes! Always gotta carry at least a pen πŸ˜„

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

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 πŸ’ͺπŸ’–

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 πŸ˜†

They were understanding πŸ™β€οΈ
πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ right!
I’ve never met an artist who hasn’t had a somewhat strange relationship with selling their art πŸ™ƒπŸ˜„ me 2 friend.

But with reluctance and mixed feelings, my Etsy is live. πŸ˜† Link in bio if you wanna check out original paintings, woodcuts, stickers and prints πŸ’–

Collage night with friends, good for the brain 😌

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, β€œsurely this should be framed in gold,” but now I’m waffling
Party rooster! I know I want to frame this but I’m not sure what style I want to do πŸ€”πŸŽŠπŸ“

The sky is so soft and pretty, congrats on a full month!
The painting is very skilled but can we also take a moment to admire THE FRAME?!? Like !!!

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 πŸ˜…

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 πŸ˜‹πŸ˜Έ
Framed and hung πŸ˜„πŸŒ
