View fullsize It’s… a peach. I painted this at about six inches wide, and ultimately it came out to 3/8” on the printed product. But that’s a nice, clean 3/8” and that’s how I like it. Watercolor on Saunders Waterford hot pre

View fullsize I’ve been doing a lot of experimenting and studying over here. The result: better color output, more attention to detail, and paintings of things that freak me out a bit, like birds and bugs. But they do make very good subjects and of course

View fullsize I’ve been painting lots of flowers for my @studioluzance clients and dearly wish I had completed the botanical illustration class I signed up for by now. I also wish I hadn’t accidentally bought this watercolor paper and used it for this
View fullsize Many of you know that I am not a morning person. However, I’m working on it, and I am holding on dearly to the early wakening induced by the jet lag from the trip I just returned from. We’ll see how long I can keep that up. It certainl
View fullsize A truth bomb by @ariannahuff on @jayshetty’s podcast. Taking a minute to stop and focus on your breath can do wonders. If you’re truly unable to take that time for yourself, then it’s time to take steps to get your life back. Pers
View fullsize Being perpetually short on time, as we all are, I’m always annoyed with how short February is. At the same time, I’m glad to be done with a winter month. The blooming cherry and plum trees are my favorite part of this time of year - the
View fullsize HOLES IN FINETEC. Thank you to everyone who responded to my story a few days ago when I asked how many of you find hollowness under the surface of your Finetec pans! It seemed excessive, so I contacted Coliro and a rep, Jessica, responded with a bi
View fullsize Recommended reading. I bought this book at the Tate Modern in London in September (and was *so* close to buying an enamel mug with a plunger printed on it), and promptly read most of it over a pint (fine, two pints) at a nearby pub after I left the
View fullsize It has been SO LONG since I’ve sat down and painted or drawn for my own enjoyment, vs. for a client. Don’t get me wrong, I am so grateful for my clients, who provide me opportunities to do what I love for a living. But this year has bee
View fullsize Happy Halloween! 👻🎃🧛🏻‍♀️. Who is dressing up, and as what? I absolutely love this holiday, so of course I had to participate in the @flourishforum Halloween exchange. Normally I’d illustrate or paint any graphics, but I couldn’t
