I’m so deeply proud of this one! It combines Old Victorian Houses, cozy grannies, friendly ghosts and allllllllllll the cozy autumnal vibes.

A photo of a picture book with a friendly little ghost on the cover. The picture book is sitting on a pile of old books which are sitting on a lovely pink chair. A little black cat figurine is nearby.

Lothlórien - watercolour and acryla gouache on paper
I wish I had time to get back to my Tolkien series, these are so much fun.

💙 Prints on saIe for a bit longer! 💙

The tree city of Lothlórien, home of the elves. A spiral staircase winds up a giant tree with golden leaves, buildings hanging from its brances like ornaments. At the top of the image, the fellowship greets Galadriel and Celeborn. At the bottom of the image we see Frodo peering into the basin with Galadriel.

Had some spring snow today and with the Japanese crab apples flowering, I thought I'd better get some shots before the weather ruins the flowers...

All aboard! It’s #KidLitArtPostcard Day, and these good boys and girls are off to school! When I was a kid, dogs would sometimes crash recess, causing chaos. Maybe today’s lesson is ‘How to Cause the Best Kind of Mayhem’! What’s on their school schedule? 🐕✨
