Tiny sprouts, ephemerals
Violets galore.
These sweet lovelies are abundant in the woods.

Pen and Ink and Watercolor
Beautiful day to have my studio door open to listen to birdsong.
I started with a couple of pen and ink drawings from picked wildflowers.
Next I added a watercolor wash with yellows and blues around the flowers. Negative painting.

Sweet perfume in the garden
Petals velvet soft
Art Prescription: The scent of gardenias is unmatched. Their sweet perfume will follow you around the garden.
I did a simple pen and ink sketch on blue card stock…. just the basics, soothing.

Season at it’s end.
Art Prescription: After several busy days working on landscape commissions, I felt the need to do something simple and soothing. My coneflowers have gone to seed and I find them so beautiful. Two simple tools, a pen and pencil. Peaceful.

Shorts and tees in December
Santa needs sunscreen!!
Art Prescription: I’m not complaining as Finn and I had a lovely sunny walk (sort-of he is very interested in eating grass). However, “dashing through the snow” is highly unlikely this Christmas season.
