Spent some time today just drawing some of the things I saw in pen & ink. 😌🎨

The past couple of weeks I have been doing quite a bit of painting in Ontario, Canada. Here are a few plein aire watercolors I have had the opportunity to paint in the beautiful weather up here! 🇨🇦

Thank you to my good friend and former teacher Jackie Wilkinson Doll for purchasing the Flower Shoppe piece. It was such a treat to hand deliver this today and visit you and your family! Thank you for collecting my work 😊🎨

A couple of digital bird sketches. 😊

Sketching on a digital device is a great way to practice color, light, form, and rendering.

Digital is an exciting medium with a lot of options-it is fun to explore!

I’ve been having fun creating some funky, whimsical line art lately (thanks to Tina Rock Ferdinand-Oliver.😉😁) and am pleased to announce that my latest piece was accepted in a juried show and is now on display at Artel Gallery in downtown Pensacola. 😃

There’s another one on my easel and some concept drawings in my sketchbook.

Looking forward to this series!
