these days i just can’t get enough summertime-flowers, long walks and exploring new parks!

last weekend we did a bit of adventuring in a nearby nature conservancy. the 5 mile hike was just amazing and took us through farmlands, woods, marsh and prairie!

i snapped so many flower photos! i just adored all of the natural shapes and think they just might find a place in the new paintings i’ve been working on!

…………………………..

a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone for your support during last week’s shop update! Thank you so much!

Art Weekends & Letting Go

A few weeks ago I had an art weekend with my sister-in law. We went to the art supply store and picked up a ton of spray paint, acrylic inks and other fun supplies.
