Alder and Finch

A little early fall release in the shop 🍂🍁✨ These greeting cards turned out so pretty. Perfect to send with fall family photos or keep for yourself to frame with pretty matting for some fall decor around the house. 🔗 Etsy shop link in the bio.

Carved out some down time to play in the sketchbook over the weekend. I had a cute little toddler sitting on my lap for part of it but managed to eke out this beautiful landscape of Mount Rainier ✨ I love the mix of pastel textures in this one. Think I’ll do a few more iterations of this 🗻

Sketch vs final painting! I always use my sketchbook first to play with colors, contrast, composition, and balance. This is 1 of 2 commissioned watercolor pieces for a very special family ❤️

Last chance to grab this lovely watercolor thistle phone background before I replace my monthly freebie with something sweet for February 🍬🍭 I spent the weekend painting some sweet treats for February’s background that I’ll be scanning in tonight and sharing this week 💖

Busy week in the art studio! More loose watercolor florals are coming and after my masking tape shredded my mushrooms painting, I threw in the towel and started holiday art planning instead. After that sad moment, nothing like thinking of snowy winter scenes to lift the spirits. I’ll return to my fall mushrooms when I’m a little less miffed at my masking tape 😆🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m excited to share that we officially have physical reprints of my watercolor originals on the shop! 8”x11” and 11”x14” giclee, and “4x6” greeting cards from my two cocktail and floral series 🥃🍸🌸🌼 Eric and I are working to add new prints weekly. Go team 🙌🏼
