Laughing Lady Art

Still making progress on this pretty bird. Definitely taking a little longer than usual, as my drawing days per week have decreased, as I also try to balance my love of art with the real and rapid changes my body, mind, and priorities are undergoing (in addition to a 40 hr work week).

What an amazing, chaotic, beautiful 2-week vacation we had.

I had my first day back at work today. I'm giving myself one more day to recoup from the fatigue of a 3-hour time difference, a totally screwed up sleep schedule, and the smack of being back to reality. I'll be back on my easel tomorrow with some new update pics. 🩷

(I think the break was good for me. Ive been drawing every day without fail for years now).

Stay tuned 😊

My husband and I have some exciting news to share. As of today, I am just over 12 weeks pregnant.

That means a baby artist is on the way. ETA November 21, 2026. ❤️

Baby is about the size of a lime 🍋‍🟩

Little bit of work during lunch today. Trying to get in little bits here and there before we transition into vacation mode in two days. 🦜

Commissions are now closed.

Thank you all for your continued support in my artwork. I'll be taking it easy over my vacation but will be back with some little projects/updates soon. 🩷

PS: There's something else I'd also like to share with you all soon. Keep an eye out over the next few weeks. 😊

Looking through old albums today (for drawing inspiration)...

These were taken back in 2021, from our second trip up to Macy Lakes, in the Sangre De Cristo Mountain Range, near Westcliffe, Colorado. The first trip was, of course, when and where Chris proposed to me - at nearly 13,000 ft elevation.

This place was magical long before I knew he was going to propose. I have never, in my life, longed to return to a specific geographical location so intensely. It is a longing that persists no matter how many times I do return. It owns a piece of my soul - one I willingly gave it, so that I might continue to have reason to go back again.

Everyone has that one place. That one place that makes them say "I don't know what it is... but it calls to me". It's not simply about scenic beauty. Sure, Colorado is known for its stunning, rugged scenery. Beautiful places aren't rare. But this one... this one is mine.

Working on another little satisfying macro study of an animal I really do not get to draw often enough. Someone with a horse, please commission me! 😃
