I wish I knew the name of this flowering bush, its just so pretty and simple. I’m liking simple. Witnessed on a walk around town. Then I decided to do a quick, folksy rendition inspired by them in my sketchbook. EDIT: I figured out the name! It’s an old fashioned shrub, a Deutzia. Rare these …

painting blues and greens
Playing with some new paints on this rainy day. I’m always drawn to blues and greens. Have been painting interpretations of little patterns inspired by the pages of a japanese textile book.
A new print
Wild Roses print is now for sale in my shop Oh, and just look at the droplets of dew on this wildflower! How beautiful is nature?! Seriously the meadows this time of year are absolute bliss. Going for lots of walks these days! Happy June!
new prints and into the berry bramble

a new finished painting
Finished Pulling on Our Ribbons and Hair the other night and it’s finally dry! A print is available in my shop. There’s lots and lots of little detail. Take a look!
