Yesterday I discovered the most lovely book cover. It’s weathered gray with a tamarack tree gracing the cover. I pulled it out of my vintage book pile and put it on my desk as a reminder to do something with it. As I looked down to admire the cover again there was a rainbow illuminating …

A new tiny painting in my moleskine
Dreaming of living in a little sea town…. I painted this today while waiting for the background on one of my larger paintings to dry. My layers keep getting more and more intense, the journal can barely close anymore! The complexity that I used to put into my art quilts is finally being translated into …

I had an absolute surge of thrifted finds, kind gifts and great sales this past month! I just had to document it all here. Everything resides in my studio as a source of constant inspiration… and as a distraction from this wet, warm winter. I wish for frostiness:( I titled the sketch “A very wet …
