So, continuing from where I left off last week; We have motifs, we have texture and color. Possibly a title. I’ve made quite a lot of progress, though it may not look like it here. Thought I’d show you seven of the colors and a few of the Illustrator doodles I’ve done. Have a greatContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”

Monday Mood Board
Trying to expand my color palette a bit. I was inspired by the vibrant yellow of this Rabbit Brush. As well as this little Columbine. And I just adore how these look a little like bats when in their bud stage.

So, this is a little different. I created a mini collection last year based on the many hikes I take with my dogs. I’m reimagining that collection with different colors and a few other new details. Haven’t decided on the colors yet.

A few images I collected from our road trip last summer. The watercolor came first. When I saw the patina on this weathered stone I was transported back to when I was obsessed with trying to capture such a texture in these orchid paintings. I’ve done a few of these, but this one is myContinue reading “Monday Mood Board”
Finding Your Signature Style
This isn’t going to be a post about how I can help you find your signature style, because, I can’t even help myself discover my own signature style/brand. Here’s a little rant I shared on Instagram a few days ago regarding some of my frustration. Maybe you can relate. Not gonna lie, I’m a littleContinue reading “Finding Your Signature Style”

Looking a little proud today. I do love Payne’s grey. Payne’s grey is named after William Payne, a late 18th-century English painter, who created this color as a neutral tint. Originally it was made up of Prussian blue, yellow ochre, crimson lake (carmine).

Oh My! This purplish, pinkish, rich, velvety color. I hope to get better at mixing up colors that are more accurate to the photos. Practice will help. And a lot of patience. Color mixing has never been one of my favorites.
New Beginnings
Fist of all, I can’t believe it’s been more than a year since my last published post. There have been many posts drafted, yet none worth publishing. But, are any of them really worthy of being published? What’s New We’ve moved. Again. Not just to a new house, but a new state. After being inContinue reading “New Beginnings”
When as Good as it Gets is Good Enough
I can’t believe its been 9 months since my last post. There are two reasons for that. The first reason I won’t go into as it is depressing and dark and not at all interesting. I know, depressing and dark is almost always interesting, but in some cases it is also just predictable and boring.Continue reading “When as Good as it Gets is Good Enough”
Signs Everywhere
There comes a time when you must stop and listen to the universe. The universe is telling you something. It is telling me something. I’m not sure exactly what it is saying, some of it is lost in translation, but I think I can make out the gist of it: ‘Ridiculous’, ‘irrelevant’, ‘useless’, ‘pointless’ andContinue reading “Signs Everywhere”
