So cute!
One more leaf painting from a couple weeks ago - painted at Ranger Moot!

I brought along my mini-palette ring I got from @christinawald.com in case I had any time to try it, and I did!! I need to figure out a better water situation, but loved using it!! 😍

I was going to keep the sketch in black and white but the colors of the many poinsettias called to me😍 The Cincinnati architectural sculptures are so amazing. I could have sketched for many more hours. I plan to go back when the poinsettia tree is up. #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketchbook

🥲 guess it’s good I don’t have aspirations to be an influential author.
There are 8 picture books on this list. None were created by women. After everything we’ve been through the last decade, this is an enormous oversight. What @slj.com has just said is that only men are influential in the world picture books. And I’m not okay with this.

MPH Brewing took over the old Pomodori’s, but the legendary pizza oven survived the makeover. We sketched there tonight with the Cincinnati Urban Sketchers. It was a packed house with awesome energy!✍📗😍#urbansketching #sketchbook

We’re living through crazy times - it’s getting to the point where you can’t even go to an Al Jardine show with Eric Idle without being dragged up on stage to sing “Barbara Ann”!

Time to get creeped out.

We continue our Haunted episodes with HAUNTED DOLLS!😱

An article about Annabelle, the infamous haunted doll, coming to Scarefest in Lexington inspired the discussion which takes a bizarre turn to Zombies and eating brains! #paranormalpodcast

More bird illustrations from a book I did called The Owl at Night!😍🦉 There is something magical about art for a book with mostly night scenes. #illustration #sciart #kidlit #kidlitart #birds #birdart
