Arcadian Woods gouache
Tea at the tree. The study of ice formation.
First painting of the new year.
The holiday rituals didn’t quite feel the same this year. Too many distractions maybe (like emergency car shopping)… or maybe this is just how it is every other year or so. It is merely coincidental that I am ready to re-do everything at this precise moment. I think.
My agenda for the year: paint, paint, paint & read.

Little gifts.

Hello. I have many things to write about but I’m finding the growing list a bit daunting. So today I’ll just mention that Lost Pearl is now available in my shop. The prints are beautiful.

She poses well.

I am happy with this little puppet. Which is not really so little… It is my biggest thus far at 11 inches tall.
Also, back in my shop for now is a slight re-edit of Delicate Heart. I’ve had numerous people inquire about this set but there were a couple of sticking issues that made me hesitate on releasing it again. So I re-approached the files and it is back in a limited quantity.

Something new. Being printed soonest.
I made drawings for this doll two years ago but something seemed off. I let the idea drift in the back of my mind for a while until I approached it again a few months ago. Painting the textures was a dream.

Trying to teach myself how to use other paints has inspired me to paint several pieces in gouache in the last couple of weeks.
So much comfort in the smooth, easy texture… though the scent of oils is becoming a comfort. Different approaches conjure different feelings. How to meld the thoughts into something seamless? Maybe I’ll never figure it out.

A little gouache painting I made for my sister.

Vacation week is long over, the shop has re-opened, re-adjusting to a schedule again is lame… Random walks & staying up until question marks will be missed until next time.
