a lovely day . . .

This pattern is how much I love summer! The neighbourhood is alive with children. My driveway is a chalk painting:). My peonies are about to bloom. The herb garden... the fresh air... the sunlight... I'm going to try and not miss it in front of a glowing screen.

back from NY . . .

Surtex flashed in front of my eyes. It felt as if the trip there and back was longer than the show itself. I blinked... and the trip to New York was all done and over with. I already miss the awesomeness of all the talent I met. The 'usual suspects' from the LR studio (2nd pic: Lilla Rogers, Jenn Ski, me, Carolyn Gavin, Jillian Phillips, Macrina Busato & Alison Cole)... 
I was very lucky to meet and get to know a little one of my new favourite artists - Sarah Watts (who had one of the best booths in show).
Also, it was fun to finally put some faces to the names of the people I work with. I got the sweetest clients!
Already starting to look forward to next year:). Same time. Same place.

See you at Surtex . . . booth 317 . . . :)

Leaving in the morning... little road trip to New York with my husband Mike and middle daughter Margo. I will be at Surtex (at Jarvits Center) - 19th-21st. Maybe I'll see you there:)

hanging out . . .

We've all been under the weather over here for most of the last and some of this week. It's no fun... but we got to hang out:). Anais did some watercoloring in my studio. I did some sketching (as a break from clicking)

trees & creatures & leaves . . . oh my!

That's right... it's a forest with personality:). Everything is alive and in conversation.

garden party . . .

A couple of watercolors I did last weekend... reflecting the feelings towards the warm weather and green gardens:).

green, warm and the botanical fantasy . . .

All the windows are open and the sweet warm summer smell is pouring into my studio. I cannot ask for more. It's finally green! Not quiet like the botanical fantasy I put into a pattern (above)... but almost.... almost summer...
