Aaaaaand they’re finished! 🐍🎨 It’s been a busy last few days around here. We’ve been getting ready for an SCA event and planning for our garden and getting taxes done and, and, and.... I’m tired! 😛

This week I’d like to feature an older piece I did that’s been newly re-added to the shop: “Apocalypse.” ”Apocalypse” is a 9x12 inch original ballpoint pen and watercolor work, backed to 11x14 inches and

I am really happy with my latest project: a sketchbook “quiver” for my pen and water brushes. I got the idea from an Amazon ad that came in my email, and even though the one shown was made from leather,

Introducing #fountainpenfriday! Today’s sketch is of some lovely wild sunflowers I passed last August. ❤️ They were so bright and cheery, I couldn’t NOT stop and take a photo! It was a very windy day,

Did you know crocuses fold up at night? I didn’t! 😛 The first time I went to take a reference pic of them, they were all folded up. This morning they were all awake to greet me. 💐 #fountainpen #brushpen

It’s a little late, but where I’m at it’s still #treetuesday! 🌲🙃 I walked another mile this morning with the kiddos and took a quick pic of one of our ancients. The base of the trunk of this one is 5
