Flower child

 

Every Monday during July I've been part of a watercolor collage class. I try to take different classes every summer to tap into new techniques or explore new color palettes. This helps me bring a more thought-out approach to trying something different with client work. Evolving as an artist is up to them & it's easy to fall into the pocket of what you feel comfortable in & never climb back out.

My art has always been loose & I'm trying to lean into that even more! I try to not over think what I make & for me the purest way is to feel my way through each phase. (beginning, middle, end) It's a fun exercise in trusting yourself and seeing where that goes.

Last Monday I woke and the first thing that caught my eye were the bright red geraniums in my flower box. I knew I spend the day cutting, painting and drawing flowers.

Favorite things...

 

I like to draw animals and shapes.

 Put them together & I'm perfectly pleased!

(Also, a fan of bright color but you probably know that about me by now.)

Solar Explorers 🪐

 

Little Sleepies purchased my Solar Explorers print for their 2025 back to school collection.

I love seeing how they apply art I make to their cozy, soft, product assortment. You can blast off into fun by checking it all out here!

How cute is this dress? As much as I love flowers it's so refreshing to see other fun, fresh prints (like this) on a dress!

Soft twin sheet sets, a crib sheet and cloud blanket are part of the assortment as well.

I needed to end with this guy! I just can't get over how darn sweet toddler proportions are.

Ooh, aah, gasp!

 

Hope you have a fantastic 4th of July! 

I just love this time of the year.
