The Animal's Picnic

July 18, 2017

The Animal's Picnic    12"x12"  watercolor on paper

Summer get-togethers are the funnest, and this bunch has gathered 'round a mushroom cap for a feast of corn and ripe watermelon. Good things are always made that much better with friends. I hope your summer looks something like this (but if you are keeping company with a sweet little otter dressed in retro attire, please let me know, I'd love to tag along!)

Happy Summer!

You're the Apple of My Eye

January 27, 2017

You're the Apple of My Eye   11"x14"  watercolor on paper

This happy trio has spent the afternoon in the apple orchard, picking apples, reading, taking the occasional photograph, and (as the evidence of blankets and baskets would suggest) enjoying a hearty picnic lunch. There really is no sweeter way to pass a day than this.

On this cold and wintery January day, I am most certainly with them in my heart of hearts.
