Watercolor on the West Coast #3
I did some more art cards today – The last two, I decided to challenge myself and use two colors (and white when needed). So I went with red and yellow and blue and red and just played with different ways of mixing.

Watercolor on the West Coast #2
This morning I decided to work on some smaller pictures and ended up creating 8 art cards before going back to sleep for another hour or so. I didn’t really plan what I was doing, I just wanted to have a variety of cards that sort of represent the different kinds of paintings that I…

Daily Painting: Coming Soon
I decided that starting Monday (and for the next 3 weeks) I’m going to try and do a daily painting. It’ll be in watercolor, but eventually I’d like to work in acrylics and possibly oils.

Fight Like a Girl
Last night I decided to paint my favorite shoes (and weapons)….high heels.

What I want to do this year: Book Edition
I’m not totally into making goals or new years resolutions. Although I think goal setting is a good idea in general – I like to leave myself a little bit of the-world-will-not-end-if-I-don’t-make-it room. I’ve had so many ideas since September/October though, that at this point, it doesn’t make sense not to make a list to…

Blog Evolution
Over the last year there’ve been many changes to this blog – it started out like it is now one blog with many different topics. Over the course of time I thought it would be cool to move my attempts at art to their own blog – because I thought that would be more interesting.…

My Book
My proof is in. Off the initial high and running around my apartment I decided to read over it again. I’ve read it so many times over the last month, not to mention writing and illustrating it and the story behind it. It started on day after being in bed sick for a week and…
