weekend adventuring!

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!
