Looking back at this pet portrait commission from about five years ago. I love revisiting old work to see how my style has evolved.

I’m actually really drawn to the restraint I had back then. There’s a simplicity to it that I’m currently trying to relearn through my new sketchbook practice. Sometimes you have to go back to the basics to move forward!

We put up a smart bird feeder in our yard and so far the only birds to find it have been the black-capped chickadees and now they are all over our yard! Such a welcome sign of spring! I couldn’t help but capture their curious energy in my journal. 🐦

Page 2 of my journal! Anyone have any ideas for the next page?

I bought a few watercolor journals about two years ago, but I could never get myself to start painting in them. There was always this little voice saying, “What if I mess up? What if I ruin a page?” The blank pages felt intimidating instead of inspiring.

Yesterday I finally put that aside and decided to begin. I want this journal to be a place to play, learn, experiment, and make mistakes. I still can’t completely shake the feeling that I might ruin the whole journal if something turns out messy, but pushing myself to let go of that perfectionism matters. It matters for my growth as an artist and for my overall mindset in the rest of my life too. Learning usually comes when things feel hard, and sometimes you just have to push through.

So here it is. My first painting in my first journal. I’ll share my creations as I fill the pages, mess included.

One of the reasons I don't post more of my paintings is because it's hard to come up with a good caption. So let's just pretend I said something clever and inspirational 😜

Isn't she stunning?! I haven't painted a portrait in quite a while and had so much fun layering color to capture her beauty!
