Ok watercolor artists, what do you recommend??? Watercolor paints that come in the little tubes or a set with a bunch of little dry squares or circles, like what we all used in elementary school, but you know, more professional and expensive? -Jill

Self Portrait
My one and only watercolor. I bought a set when I moved from California to Idaho to try to cheer myself up and painted one picture of my old house on my head, with my 2 little bird boys standing on top. I’m not sure why I didn’t do more watercolors and I lost my set.Continue reading “Self Portrait”
Rhino Portrait
Just for fun. I’m thinking of painting an animal alphabet. I painted this pink Black Rhino a few months ago and hung it on the wall to dry and then painted my nephew and hung him to dry and noticed the 2 together. It made me laugh. I had to specify that it’s aContinue reading “Rhino Portrait”
The struggle is real
Is there a painter out there that hasn’t struggled through the start of one painting or another? Or struggled through the middle of it to push through the awkward teenager stage? Or lost steam towards the finish and petered out? Have you felt the let down of finishing a painting, even one that turned out betterContinue reading “The struggle is real”

Auction Piece & Marathon Monday!
Done! Off to be framed today. I’m so happy with how this little painting came together, it’s simple and sweet, and I hope it will appeal to a parent or two at my daughters school art auction this Saturday. I’ll let you know how it does! I drove by the peak the other day andContinue reading “Auction Piece & Marathon Monday!”
Northeast Boise Foothills “Almost Spring”
The Boise foothills have my attention right now. They are changing from the winter wheat color to a beautiful soft green. Every day they are different. Many times during the day they have a different feel. I run out in the hills with my running group. A few days ago I took my iPhone alongContinue reading “Northeast Boise Foothills “Almost Spring””
Spring Break Day 6: Mendocino Headlands
More from Spring Break 2016. Mendocino, CA. Every spring break we make the windy drive form Ukiah to Mendocino. We play on the beach where the Big River meets the ocean, eat pizza and ice cream at Frankie’s. Ethan gets a burger and fries from MendoBurger, coolest burger place anywhere, we look in all the windowsContinue reading “Spring Break Day 6: Mendocino Headlands”
Sammy, Eowyn, and Ethan in the Clouds
Yesterday I got the call I’d been waiting for, my paintings were all framed and ready to be picked up! I was so excited that I made my kids pose with the painting making my daughter late for ballet and my sons after school snack get cold. They were good sports. Great kids. I loveContinue reading “Sammy, Eowyn, and Ethan in the Clouds”
