On my drafting table. 🍄
Working on some character sketches today.
An overnight trip to MidCoast Maine was just what the doctor ordered (thanks sis for the @youngtowninn gift certificate). Stayed up forever late reading a mystery, ate the best blueberry pancakes ever, poked around Lincolnville and Rockland and spent some much needed time by the sea.
I spent last week up in New Hampshire, teaching at @squamlove -- it was an amazing experience. I was inspired by the beautiful landscape, the boundless creativity and the kindness of everyone I encountered. I'm especially grateful to have shared a cabin with such phenomenally talented artists - @amandamccavour @amytwon @holliechastain @maryannemoodie and @meganivygriffiths . 🌿 #squamlove #squamlove2019
I've been going through old sketchbooks and came across this page with some They Might Be Giants lyrics. 🌿 I love listening to Desert Island Discs and I'm always fascinated by what people choose for musical selections. If you aren't familiar with the show, the premise is that "the castaway" has to choose eight recordings they'd take with them to a desert island and then explain their selections. I waffle about what I'd pick, but They Might Be Giants "Birdhouse in Your Soul" will always and forever be on my list. 🌿 Which begs the question: what would be your desert island musical selection?
I've been watching lots of "Gardener's World" lately, so here's an illustration of Monty Don (and dogs). 🌸 🍅 🌿
I had an amazing time visiting Prince Edward Island last week for the release of "Anne's Kindred Spirits" - many thanks @bookmarkpei and @tundrabooks ! And it was such a thrill to meet author @kallie.george (who in the words of Anne Shirley, is truly a kindred spirit). 🌿 It's been almost 28 years since I visited PEI, but it's every bit as amazing as I remembered. It's a beautiful province and I met so many wonderful people. I'm already daydreaming about going back! 🌿 And I have a few more photos and a couple other highlights over on my blog (link in profile), if that's your cup of tea. 🌿 #anneskindredspirits #tundrabooks #anneofgreengables
I've been muddling through some burnout with personal work lately. But things feel like they're finally (slowly) shifting. 🌿
This year's Easter eggs. 🌷🐣
Bribed myself to work on taxes (😭) with the promise of hot cocoa and some time to work on this pattern afterwards. If it looks familiar, I started this in my sketchbook back in February and showed the painting in progress here.
