I decided to start sketching again in my garden journal that I made last year. I find the process meditative and great for developing my drawing and observation skills! This is one small stem of a plant that grows like a weed in my yard. And yes, the bees love it!

Working on a design for a large mural (gouache plus Procreate). Still need to hide some “Easter eggs” (little hidden surprises) in it per my client’s wishes.

I did a studio version of my previous plein air painting at Ed Levin park. It’s more controlled and I like some of the effects here, but the mood is different. I find painting from life is best for capturing the mood of a place.

I was up in Napa early this morning taking reference photos of vineyards. I have a commission to design and paint several wine barrel lids. This is my first design idea. More to come

I did this one at Navarro Beach during a recent painting retreat. I just now added a slight gradation to the house that made it sit better in the painting. Amazing to me how one tiny change can make such a difference sometimes

Another quick one on the back of an old painting. Got a new 1.5 inch flat Princeton aqua elite and a new palette so had to test them out. So love Aqua Elite brushes!
