I love this one so much. Polar bears put their nose in the air like that to survey their world. They “get big” too and square up their shoulders. For a simple painting I really captured how that first bear looked at me. Unforgettable.
I’ll keep practicing!

In Welsh, birch symbolizes love and protection. These two love birds just bought a house and had a baby.
True Love…oh that birch. Thank you for falling in my yard so that I could make this gift. ❤️

A friend posted her dinner view from Puget Sound last night. I decided to paint it. I really like this one for the deep sunset color and water variations. Was a good lesson!

Watercolor attempt #3 of my grandparent’s house. Was going for some whimsy, added tulips. My aunt painted the footprints in the 70’s. She is putting them back on this summer! This is my ❤️ place.
