Can I just say how much I love the internet? I mean, look at this photo. You cannot be sad while looking at this photo. You cannot be angry looking at this photo. All you can really do is squee with delight and wonder at the cuteness that is in this photo. I don't know who's dog this is, or who took this...
Williamsburgh oil paints are my favorite paints. <3 Hello Tuesday. Had another great weekend this past weekend. I headed to my local art supply store, Muse on Hawthorne, but was really sad to see that it had closed. After a little research we found a new art supply store on 21st and Powell called Artist and Craftsman Supply. It's employee owned and occupies...
I did some printing on Thursday. I printed a couple of plates that I made way back from 2007. I know I need to make some new ones, but I just love these so much. They remind me of old Portland and I've been feeling very nostalgic for old Portland these days. The water tower in this print is most likely going to...
We had ourselves a little mini road trip to Eastern Oregon this past weekend and it was truly great. It was so nice to head out of Portland and see some big open skies. We headed to La Grande where our friends live. It's a small town,nestled in a valley, with a small university. It's got a cute downtown area and they just...
Well, I didn't get accepted into the juried show. I'm bummed, but I'm not going to let it ruin my weekend. A large part of being an artist is dealing with rejection. Not everyone is going to like your work. Sometimes your work is not going to be the right fit. Sometimes you need to work a little bit more on your subject...
I needed some cheering up yesterday so I drew this. Three chihuahuas in a totem. Does it make sense? No. Is it a little ridiculous? Yes. Does it make me smile? Most definitely. It's currently listed in my Etsy shop but I'm also thinking of making it into a birthday card? I like it. These two originals are now available in prints too....
I worked on this illustration Saturday. It's of the "Witch House" located on the Lower Macleay Trail in Forest Park. I did a little process photo shoot while I worked on it. The Google Photo ap strings all the photos together to create this little animated photo collage. I think I need to work on taking a few more in between shots but...
I got this oil painting of Mt Hood finished and listed in my Etsy shop. I sure wish I could go camping up at Mt Hood and see a beautiful sunrise coming up over the mountain. It's still far to cold and rainy for any kind of camping trip, unless a cabin is involved. I also got a Sellwood Bridge postcard done and...
Yesterday was so beautiful. We headed up to Forest Park for a hike. We weren't planning to go very far, because we had Chloe. But, that little dog kept wanting to go further. We ended up taking an almost 9 mile hike with her. She might be 9, and only weigh 16 lbs, but that little dog is a trooper. She even wanted...
