Father Time

January 12, 2018

Father Time    watercolor on paper

Walking through the ages, holding time tenderly in the crook of his arm. Father Time himself has been on my mind a bit, seeing as we have left one year and gone into another, but it is true that he walks amoung us every calendar day of our lives. You may or may not know this, but Father Time is also a friend to Mother Nature, so I put some little woodland friends in there as well!

Happy Twenty-Eighteen, hoping it's off to a lovely beginning for you!

Making Friends with Furry Friends: Hello

January 4, 2017

Making Friends with Furry Friends: Hello   9"x11"   watercolor and ink on paper

Greetings. Hello. Salutations. How-do-you-do. Bonjour. Ciao. Howdy. No matter how you say it, there's nothing quite as nice as saying hello to a friend.

These two are becoming acquainted over a fence post; and I'm sure that it won't be long before the little girl will be sharing some goodies from her basket with her new pals.

Lots of exciting things have been taking place around here! And now I am happy to introduce a new product I’ve been wanting to finish for ages…

A year at a glance calendar!

I just love how the single print holds all of the days in a year, and it will serve as a piece of art until the new year comes (or hang on to it and continue to enjoy it into the new year!)

I’ve listed it in the shop and it’s just in time to make perfect present at Christmas!

P.S. As I was building this, I discovered a fun little fact: twenty sixteen has 366 days due to a sneaky little leap year! I’m already planning on having a miniature party to celebrate that phenomenon, because after all, February 29th’s a rare little ‘fella!
