It has been an amazing busy year and it's almost the end of October and I'm finally doing a piece for myself! First layers of oil paint are meant to be a bit messy :) each layer refines and perfects. Welcome to the beginning of my main character from my ya speculative WIP. She's a bold, playful, generally unapologetic, bubble gum popping, mystery solver.

If you haven't read I'm Gonna Get You Back by @eva

If you haven't read I'm Gonna Get You Back by @evadeslaurbooks you deeply need to, she is a queen of making me feel my feelings. I made this little book nook for her story and had the extreme honor of illustrating her characters. I find such peace in making things, it's good for my soul. Now go buy, download or lend this book from your local bookstore or library. ❤️

The compulsive desire to make a giant dandelion ca

The compulsive desire to make a giant dandelion can't be stopped. Whimsy must be delighted in. There is something so healing for me in creating things like this. It's been a heck of a hard year for me, I lost my dad and am now an adult orphan, and I'm sure the year isn't done with me yet, but it feels good to make things just for the pure joy of it. ❤️

Inspired by the amazing @funsized.life_ thank you for the cute idea!

Good morning 🌅 from a mostly awake and slightly caffeinated gal perched in her porch surrounded by bees and butterflies and a cute little bunny we named Popcorn. Kids back to school, routines back in action. Beautiful day, beautiful dress, beautiful mug, and a beautiful attitude. May your day be amazing!
