I'm currently waist-deep in framing paintings for my show this weekend at Stoney Steps Art Fest!

Most of my frames are traditional, but every once in a while I find a little gem like this one! 😍

Pick up a card for dad at the farmers market tomorrow! Evergreen Brick Works

Plantable cards are great for guys who love gardening AND those who hate holding onto things! 😁

I used up some spray ink on these paper scraps, and they're so pretty! Now to figure out what to do with them!

Sound on for the video to hear the soothing sounds of my backyard in summer! 😌

Back at this Saturday with Mother's Day cards and gifts!

(I bet more blooms like these from will be there too!)

8am-1pm

I'm working on something different! Well, the subject matter is very my norm, but I'm trying a new art style -- I started with a bright red base of acrylic gouache (acrylics don't reactivate with water, so I can paint on top), then did a drawing in crayon on top of that, and now I'm in the process of painting the rest with regular gouache and a very large brush to force myself to not go too detailed. I'm liking it so far!

This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of teaching my galaxy workshop ! Thanks to a former workshop participant (thanks, !), I was invited to join a group of kids and family members who have been affected by retinoblastoma. They did a wonderful job with the technique and were lovely to spend the afternoon with, alongside the super sweet interns and volunteers -- one of whom had the brilliant idea of painting an eye with the same technique, and it turned out SO nice!

Also, they let me touch some prosthetic eyes! 👀👀

New colouring sheet for the market tomorrow!

Printed on lightweight watercolour paper, you can colour these with paints, pencil crayons, or whatever you like. 💕

Check out these flowers I got at last Sunday! It was my first market (kind of) in Ottawa. Manotick is cute. How cute? I couldn't park on one street because they were having a soap box derby!

Thanks so much to & for the blooms!

These deserve to be painted, right??
