Happy Fourth of JULY!

May you find a patriotic beat, bring a side dish to your neighborhood barbecue or hold your little ones as you watch the night sky boom & bloom into colors. Happy Birthday USA! A 250 year experiment & a work in progress one that I’m happy to be a small part of. 🇺🇸

 

Stars, stripes & hearts forever.

Sunshine and Citrus

 🌞 🍋

Gosh, I 💛 summer!

From a unit of cut out citrus and blooms.

 To a full dose of vitamin C!

Happy Father's Day 🐻

 A good dad is a great gift. Counting my blessings that my son has a terrific papa bear & I do too!

  

 This illustration was painted with gouache.

(My favorite medium to paint with.) 

 

A special shout out to my three bear brothers who I've enjoyed watching become wonderful dads!

Spotted Blog feature ♥️

 

I woke up this morning to a nice surprise... a feature on Spotted blog.

You can see the full post here. 

A special thanks to Maria for showcasing my work. It's always nice to have new people discover your art!

Bloom bodly

 

 

I drew this one with pen & added color with Dr. Martin's liquid watercolor.

I love purple and am surprised it is usually on the list of least liked colors.

(Kind of makes me love it more! 💜)

 If my son would have been born a girl I was going to name him Violet.

I have a soft spot for these purple beauties. 

They'll take you places.

 

Shoes are fun to draw, shoes are fun to buy! Even men's shoes. Shoes get me every time!

It is JUNE

 

Let's head to the park!
