Emma sketch in colored pencil

I got a few hours to get out of the house and drink coffee and sketch!  Hooray!  I haven't done any colored pencil in a very long time.  It was a favorite in high school.  Maybe I'll get out again soon and sketch my other daughter.  It's funny being a parent, it's so nice to get away for a bit but then when you do they're all you think about.  ❤️

Plein Air painting Sunflowers

It has been a long time since I've painted plein air!  This little painting took almost 3 hours to paint.  We enjoyed the wonderfully mild August weather.  It was such a treat to paint with Natalie!  I hope we get to get out and paint again soon!

Mekai Painting

This is my latest project, it's a commission for one of my friends.  The painting is of her son Mekai. The photo credit goes to his dad.  I worked on this one while expecting my 2nd babe and it was slow going!  It was so wonderful to hand over the finished painting and see it up on their wall. 

Almost finished with the first pass!

Finished!  yay!
