What do you do when you're wide awake at 4:00 a.m? Get up and paint, of course! I have been wanting to try some different styles of pet portraits, and this idea has been rolling around in my head for a while - combining my florals with the pets. This was a quick one in my sketchbook, just to try it out, see what I think, and decide if it's something I want to pursue further. And of course, our sweet girl is the model, although it was painted from a photo because she will definitely not sit still that long... unless she is sound asleep and snoring.

What do you think? Should I keep exploring this idea?

More sketchbook play, using some Neocolors and colored pencils for details and shading. Paint is my comfort zone but I love these effects that I see in other artist's work, so I'm giving it a try.

I took the art studio out to the deck and painted in my sketchbook from a beautiful photo of peppers in the Frances Palmer book, Life in the Studio. It's full of her beautiful pottery and so much inspiration!

I finally took my still life painting from sketchbook to canvas. I've been playing with this one for a couple of days, little by little, until I'm happy with it, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the process. I'm calling it "The Early Bird Gets the Coffee." It's available in my gallery on Daily Paintworks. The link is in the comments.

More color play! I love this soft  vintagey palette.

This is one of the most treasured pieces of art that I have created. It’s a collage made from a photo of my grandma and some notes from her recipe box, which I still have.
Today is her birthday. She’s been gone a long time now, but she’s still very much alive in my heart and in my memories.
To know her was to love her. Everyone called her Granny B. She was cute and spunky and so full of love! One of the many strong female role models that I was blessed with in my life.
Happy heavenly birthday, GrannyB!

I love his philosophy. Drawing doesn't have to be about achieving a likeness. It can simply be about really seeing what is around you. Feeling grounded, mindful, in the moment. Enjoying the process, not worrying about the outcome. I encourage you to watch this and maybe give it a try. (You don't even have to let anyone else see it. 🤫)

Want to learn how to look but don't think you can draw? I've just released a short course showing you how you can. Watch the first lesson here → https://artl...
