Living dangerously today—I put Earthbound Farms spinach in my smoothie

My husky is freaking out but it’s 95 degrees at 8pm and I don’t think he should be romping in this heat

I’m just gonna eat figs until I make myself sick

Spent much of the day trying to blend ultramarine blue into a similar shade purple. Ugh. Thought I knew how to mix paint

Finished one started another. Trying to get my acrylic skills back up to snuff after lots of watercolor painting

#stunday going to finish up a painting based on this photograph today

Gonna make a hat from my dog’s fur! A fiber artist friend is taking me through the process. Step 1, learning to card and comb.

Sometimes when I’m painting small from a reference on my phone, I almost pinch the paper to make it bigger

Some tiny paintings from this week

Just dropped a new collection of tiny paintings on Etsy/ebay! #aceo

Tropical pitcher plant living its best life

Painting strawberries; ate strawberries

July 7 11:11pm and it’s still with the gunfire and fireworks

Obsessed with cobalt and fluorescent red !!

I put up a shade cloth over the tomatoes. Now bleeding from both legs. Garden demands sacrifice.

Gardening while ADHD, I started seeds I thought were beans but they were squash. Here’s the first Green Cushaw from the garden.

Readers digest Condensed Book. From Vol. 5 1982. Painting the cover pattern

This red winged hawk is flying sway to his forever home today. #flyday

Readers digest condensed books, volume five 1978 cover pattern

Doing a little series based on a set of Readers Digest books I found in the trash. I love the patterns.

Dolly Parton impersonator at the gala with their drawing

Drawing gala attendees

I’m doing a pop up event with my live drawing booth at the place that I had to quit a 12 year career at due to their inability to accommodate my ADHD + menopause issues. I am pretty brave. Lots of memories here…

A tiny painting of a windowsill scene

I got kicked out of the Kimbell Museum this weekend for drawing with a pen. I had no pencil. Sigh. I came home and copied their Gentileschi in gouache from a photo. (Freehand! Still no pencil!)

A couple of today’s #drawingisfree_org portraits

New tiny paintings on eBay

Finished up painting the swallows. Next step on this mural is some feathery clouds to accompany the big defined clouds #artyear #flyday #birdsky

Sunset streets scene #scape #artyear

I made a dinner date with a friend. Now I actually have to go out. I hadn’t fully reckoned with that part of the plan.

I picked them, then painted them, and now I’ll eat them. #figs #artyear

Now painting ceiling swallows

My husky realized that there were hidden figs under the tree. He waited until walk time, delaying the harnessing, to show me as he found and ate each one
