Painting in my Head (#12)
Yesterday, while we were on our walk/hike I stopped and paused and started painting in my head – visualizing the image I was going to paint – and then did a really really rough 5 second sketch in my notebook and called it a day. This morning I created a 6×6 painting of what was…

Watercolor on the West Coast #8
I made another 6×6 inspired by two jokes from last night when we were hanging out. A fish named invoice, and one of the guys with a drink holder hat and a blue tooth headset on simultaneously…

Clay and Winter Fairies
Over the weekend Alex and I decided to pick up some clay and explore the world of miniatures. On Sunday night we baked a few pieces and yesterday I painted mine. The tall tree-like piece was the most interesting because I had used some candle wax to mold it around. While it was cooking the…

It's Winter
The other day I felt like making something, but didn’t feel like setting up to paint. I grabbed the iPad, opened up sketch pro, and had fun without having to leave my warm blanket!
