Friday fl🌸 wers

Some flowers painted in gouache that I then stepped out into a pattern.

 

Called this one midnight garden. Sometimes the best part is naming them! 

(I often wish they were scratch & sniff.) 

World Kiss Day

 

 

Plant one on somebody you love! 💋

(art: collaged) 

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.
