Tiny tomato test prints - testing different ways to mix the yellow and red ink These will accompany the Summer Heirlooms print in my art print club. 🐌💌 #linocut #linoprint
"Another stunning piece of art - For me the first bite of a fresh grown tomato is when summer really starts. These lovelies looked like jewels in the sun when I spotted them at the farmer's market." Used to go a farmers market when I lived in Los Angeles - a fun place to shop.

A bit of plein air painting at Blackwood Farm Park with Raleigh outdoor painting group #pleinair #watercolor #art
🍅 This one is taking a while to finish, but I love it. I rotate around the tomatoes to paint each layer, letting some dry and some blend. It always goes through an ugly phase before the final layers are added. #watercolor
I'm both excited I'm in this show at the beautiful @redoakbrew @griffithartmuseum (seriously - it's a beautiful venue with a sculpture garden too) AND I feel like I won an award or something because I made it onto the promo posters with my sunflowers painting 🌻🥰 #watercolor #artshow #art
I don't normally share process videos, but I love the way the light is hitting these tomatoes at the farmer's market. It makes me think of summer so much with the hot sun beating down and the juicy flavors of a fresh tomato. 🍅🌞 #watercolor #art
Been working on an art market sign and just finished these add-ons that hang from the main sign. I have my first big art market in August and I'm both nervous and excited. #artmarket #artistlife
I love tomatoes. When I was a toddler, my mom had to beg my Greek grandparents to stop giving them to me because I ate so many I had a rash around my mouth. This little study both reminds me of that but also it's a proud gardener moment. Watercolor on paper 9 x 6.75 in Available #watercolor
Are you interested in a snail mail art print club? 🐌💌 I think I'd be happy with even a few subscribers because I just love snail mail. 😄 The current theme I'm mulling over is "tiny observations" ... #snailmail
The studio pop-up table is all set up at DSSOLVER in Durham! Go check it out for original art, fine at prints, linocut prints, postcards, stickers, and more! Now until the end of July 🌞 Thanks to The Pufferfish Project for making this possible for independent artists ♥️ #artmarket #art
New small piece from my trip to the NC mountains recently - Mountain Laurel 7 1/4 in square Daniel Smith watercolors on Arches 100% Cotton paper #watercolor #nativeplants
Quick ink sketch of a skull sculpture while mentoring. Added a bit of water to make it melty and encourage the ink to split colors #ink #inkdrawing #sketchbook
Join us at Blackwood Farm Park for our next plein air/urban sketching meetup! NOTE THAT WE DON'T MEET AT THE BEGINNING! Just find a spot you like to paint/sketch alone or with others then meet at the end for the throwdown.
Small, quick plein air sketch of this part of the steam. On the Catawba Falls trail near Black Mountain/Old Fort NC #pleinair #watercolor
Lovely day painting at Duke Gardens with @ncartmeets.com ! Today I focused on the rose garden so that I could paint the fountain. I love all the potted succulents that surround it too. Cc @warriorpainters.bsky.social #pleinairpril #pleinair #watercolor
Finally calling this one finished. It's a very typical North Carolina river scene for those that hike or do plein air painting a lot. I love the red bridge. Starting to notice a pattern with red bridges 😄🌉 #watercolor #art
First flush tea harvest! Last year I got 3 tea camellias. I'm excited my white tea bush is even more prolific this year so I have a decent harvest here. A few leaves from my lipton bush are mixed in. This is a white tea harvest which is a bit easier that making green or black tea
Santorini on my mind... I was probably on my way to taking a friend to watch the sunset when I caught this view on camera. It's my 2nd or 3rd attempt at capturing it in watercolor. Something about the light, colors, and strong geometry really capture my eye. #watercolor #santorini #greece #art
