Picking some Lavender in the Garden and showing a few new Commissions on my workspace....




Hello Everyone....

A little early for WOYWW.....but it is a hot one out there and I am in the cool Studio working away and decided to share what's on my workspace. I worked on two watercolour commissions for a very sweet client I have been working with for a while now....These are special pieces that will go to his new clients that have moved to Wasaga Beach.....I am always a fan of beach scenes!!!

I picked some bunches of my lavender for drying this morning before the day got super hot and also packaged up these paintings to head to their new homes.........




then my day in the Studio started and I have so many new ideas brewing in my mind....I have a few more paper dolls to work on for my book coming out this year so I am in full swing with those pieces and my latest picture book will come to life right here on my blog soon....with daily sketches and updates....so be sure to tag along and join me on this journey!!!



Happy Tuesday/Wednesday and Happy Creating Everyone!!!

This week I started my all natural detox....and it has been so hard...I am only drinking pure clear juices....water with lemon and lime and eating a few fruits to help keep me standing....NOTE: do not watch Foodnetwork if you are fasting!!! lol

Anyway I have been busy with some fun projects in the Studio...I just finished off three new Commissions that are heading to Wasaga Beach....and these were so much fun to do and since it has been raining these beach scenes brightened my day........

I also had a sweet little visitor in our backyard ....this adorable woodpecker was by looking for some snacks after the rain....too bad I couldn't get a closer shot....he or she was amazing!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful day....may it be filled with family, friends and inspiration!!!!

Hi Everyone...I hope you all enjoyed a nice long weekend with your families and friends...we spent this Holiday up at our family cottage in Wasaga Beach....we had a lot of fun and enjoyed warmer than usual weather for this early in Spring...but it was just what we needed....

I have a bunny peg doll I made...I haven't finished her watercolour outfit yet because I just love her all in white...but you never know things change daily ....I also wanted to share some amazing scenery from the weekend....
We ate way too much chocolate this weekend...and I have to go on a major diet....please help me!!! and my Dad is the king of BBQ with his gadgets and perfectly cooked treats....you know you can't be on any diet when you get together with family...lol
and here are some fun shots of the bluest skies ever....I really had fun just taking in all the beauty and the warm sun on my face....I love Spring!!! when it dresses up like summer!!!


and this photo I added ...it was taken from our beach....with a zoom in on Blue Mountain where you can see the last of the snow....hard to imagine just a while back these slopes were happening!!!

Have a wonderful Monday!!!
