My kids always have something to say about my art and they don’t hold back.  These are a couple of my recent favs:

“I like it.  If I take my glasses off it sort of looks […]

as in blue skies that have graced our recent days here.  I am still here and thankfully the sun has given me a much needed vitamin d infusion.   So back to painting and dreaming of a spring that feels within reach.  Have a beautiful weekend!

How was your weekend?  I have a love/hate relationship with Monday.  On one hand, the weekend is over, enough said.  On the other hand, the house is quiet and MINE for a whole six hours or so.
I added a few new paintings to the floodline, if you are interested and more will be going in […]

I am so excited to announce that I will be hosting a ‘Girl Crush Art Workshop and Tea Party’ in my studio along with the lovely lady behind the amazing blog The Jealous Curator.   The idea for these workshops came out of a post she did for sfgirlbybay here and a  ‘post about how fun […]

We have snow in the forecast this weekend (though I always take that with a grain of salt around here).  It would be nice to have a light dusting so we can sit around with hot cocoa in front of the fire.  Other than looking with hopeful eyes to the sky, my goals for the […]

I was just doing my daily look around the blog world and came upon one of my pieces (boy in the black bow tie) in Victoria’s house, which also happens to be featured in the current West Elm catalog!  Double yay!

How’s your Monday going so far?   I finally feel back up to speed after […]

Happy New Year!  I took the last week or so to just completely unwind with no expectations on myself.  It felt good.  Now, I’m ready to look forward again and be inspired and make new work.  Here are a few pieces I just completed in my floodline series.

I’m nearing my last few days of getting orders out before I can relax and enjoy the holidays!  Tonight I’m hosting a little dinner party for a group of moms I have been friends with since my daughter was just a baby, so ten years!  I am so grateful to be able to count this […]

Where did the week go?  This weekend I have many a plan.  The first being to work and work some more.  I want to have everyone’s portraits in the mail this week, so I’m gathering some movies/shows/music to push through a couple of late nights.  I also want to stop by this and do a […]

Happy December!  Though I’m not quite ready to decorate for the holiday’s (I like to wait about a week into December), I do rather enjoy the planning.  Pinterest has been a wealth of holiday inspiration this year, what did I do before it existed!  When we do decorate for the holiday’s, this is what I’m […]

I’m finding our dark days here really beautiful lately, as well as, an empty house and the quiet that comes with that.
Also, loving this video…

This time of year I become a bit scarce around here.  I am working away in my studio to get portraits completed for holiday gifts and planning our own holiday.  Also, I have quite a few new prints and such to add to my etsy store and plan to have some of that done Friday […]
