I haven’t posted a peek at my art or sketchbook lately… so… here we are. Still making little things, with a little time and a little glitter (but mostly paint). AN ART PEEK This piece was inspired by a Christopher Paolini quote included with one of the Get Messy Art Journal prompts (they’re sent out weekly to members to inspire artmaking and connections with the community).

What I made | 007: Gouache edition
What I made | 007 sounds so… James Bond. I assure you what follows is less secret agent and more… lady making a mess on her coffee table. I’ve been completely swept up in Mary Ann Moss’ Oh My Gouache class and have been using gouache in…

What I made | 006
It’s been ages since I’ve shared what I made. Grace and I spend plenty of time drawing things like “Dad with a stroller” and “Dad with shoes” and “Grace in a bed” and “Grace in a different bed” and “Baby Nick with a shoe” and…

Today: All I want for Christmas.
All I want for Christmas is this. Materials used: Cold-pressed watercolor paper, Winsor and Newton professional watercolors, and a super crappy paint brush from a set of approximately 900 (it set me back a whopping $2.00 #treatyoself). I won’t turn down a good night’s sleep,…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Magic, Week 3
[So… most of this post was thrown together well before yesterday’s tragic events in San Bernardino. This is not a post about grief or guns. But those things, rather than paint and sketchbooks, are what I’m actually thinking about today.] This week was sort of…
