London

I've never been to London but after the last couple days it's now on the top of my list of places I'd like to go. I'm not a big city girl. I've lived in Manhattan twice & each time leave knowing I need nature around me. So when I think of were I'd like to vacation a city doesn't usually make my list.

I have to say I'm intrigued by London (so much history) & would love to see more. I found a piece in my sketch book I painted about 5 years ago. I guess this city has always been somewhere in my mind. If you live their or have visited what do you like about it? I'm curious.

Royally Excited!

I have to admit I'm smitten with the upcoming royal wedding. Yes, I'll be up at the crack of dawn tuned in tissue in hand. I wish I was in London to see pageantry a bit more up close & I guess kind of personal? (among millions) I haven't completely lost my mind though. I do realize that people are just people & the stress these two must be under is immense. For me it's just about a temporary break from the ordinary & seeing some pretty amazing hats! My son wakes every morning at 5:45 I've talked him into watching it with me. I've already planned our breakfast Friday morning tea & blueberry scones. So I'll never be a princess but I do look forward to being the tooth fairy some day. Close enough for me!

Easter Egg Wraps

Today I wanted to post something you could print at home & use if you like. I made these a few years ago & they looked cute wrapped around an egg. Just download & print, very patiently cut each out (sorry about that part) tape & voila it's done.

Happy Easter & Happy Earth Day!

Day 3- Easter

This is an older piece I sold a few years ago. I painted it on a bright turquoise piece of canson paper. I had to separate the painted area from the background. (like we always do around here)

I just remember this one being a particular challenge because there were so many little bits & texture. This print ended up on a popcorn canister full of pastel Easter sweets.

Day 2- Easter

More fun Easter art.

Hippity Hoppity

Easter's on it's way! I've been so busy lately I didn't realize Easter is this Sunday. I thought for the next couple of days I would post some Easter art. I painted this one my first spring with Luca. I'm looking forward to dying eggs with him. What an exciting mess that will be!

In the Air

and out my window I see flowers, feathers, & sunlight swirling around. A sight I've been waiting to see!
