I’ve been luxuriating in my studio this past month and planning my summer adventures! Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to!
A Riverfront Park painting based on a sketch made a year ago sitting on the grass. See below! It’s been too cold for painting outside lately still. I heard on the news that it was the coldest April since 2010!
This was made using watercolor and markers, whipped out between errands.
I’ve been diving into my giant archive of inspiration photos. I took a picture of this rose arbor down in Gearhart, OR two years ago. The shadow really caught my eye.
This is a Japanese Anemone that I photographed in the perennial garden at Manito last fall. I added some luscious colored pencils on top of the watercolors which was fun.
This painting was a demo for a Paint & Sip class at the Northwest Museum of Art and Culture last week. It was super fun to loosen up and paint big, bold, and expressively and my students were a delight!
I’ve been meaning to do stickers for ages and I’m finally getting around to it. Here’s my first design and my 2nd is below.
I showed this design to my mom and she didn’t know where it was from. She’s been coming to Spokane for almost 40 years to visit her sisters who live on the South Hill. Do you know where I got the inspiration for this sticker?
All of my May classes have sold out and my other classes are filling fast. I’ve added some new one-day sketching classes with Barn & Blossom in July and the Center for Children’s Book Arts (soon to open in mid-May) in August. If you’re hoping to take a class with me this summer, hop on over to my Events Page on my website and see what I’m up to. I’d love to paint with you!
