☀️Enjoying my studio mural… thinking I could

☀️Enjoying my studio mural… thinking I could get used to this halo… but it’s giving off some real Emperor Kusko vibes 😆

Don’t throw off my groove😎

The mural was/is a background for when I teach online children’s classes (used to be ESL, now art classes.) Sure I could just use a digital background but that would be easy 🤷‍♀️

🌲🔥Normally a regular part of the forest life

🌲🔥Normally a regular part of the forest life cycle, the frequency of our forest fires are symptoms of forest mis-management and global warming. The burnt skeletons left behind are a record of these destructive events, symbols of our own irresponsibility, grief, loss, and displacement while also holding hope for new growth and renewal. 🕊

✍🏼I created this image by sketching composite drawings based off of observations from news images and video stills. From my sketchbook drawing, I did a final drawing directly onto the block and then carved out the design, cut the paper, inked up the block, burnished the paper to transfer the ink, pulled the print and hung them up to dry. 😮‍💨 A whole section of this edition didn’t register satisfactorily and had to be redone. 🥺

Print Friend Friday was started by @karin_rytter_studio to increase visibility of fellow printmakers on Instagram. Algorithm changes have made it more difficult for artists in traditional mediums to have their work be seen. So I’m doing my part to help out ✌️

🤩Check these guys out, give them a like, comment, share, follow, and keep promoting the makers and businesses you love!

🫶I’m glad to be here and be able to share my work in this space. Thanks to all of you who have been supporting me on this journey! ☺️

✨Hard to believe this little bit of heaven is on

✨Hard to believe this little bit of heaven is only a half hour drive from our house. ✨.

The boy and I attended the homeschooler’s year end picnic today! Here’s a quiet moment of fishing before everyone else arrived, and a friend we met after. 🤍

This print is created from one of the layers in my “Treeline” block prints. On it’s own, it has a silhouette reminiscent of a forested hill where a few trees have been left standing after a natural disaster.

😜 Well, there’s my first ever #pleinair study

😜 Well, there’s my first ever #pleinair study in oil paints- and first plein air of the year. ✌️ Forgot the mosquito repellent but otherwise a perfect evening. The changing light keeps the pressure on to not let myself get too finicky. ☀️

💛Oils are a learning curve- but alla prima suits me fine ☺️ everything goes down in one go and then just muck about till it gets right. 😆
