An #artjournal spread and my baby-boo, Ruthie. Fortunately, the monsoon is trying to make its presence known, so we've got clouds and cooler temps today. It's 92 right now! For us, that's cool.

Working on more rural type landscapes. Making up my own villages. It's really just more of an experiment with certain materials and certain combos of them.

Another imaginary town and some other practice in the sketchbook/art journal. When the real world gets too much, jump in your journal and create ANYTHING. #artjournal #sketchbook

Thinking of those in Minnesota today. And those who are heading out to No Kings protests. STAY SAFE.
