In my studio, I am working on peonies and florals, more birds of various size canvas and wood panels, and also some fun and delicious still life paintings. Some peaches I plan to paint. Sunny sunflowers inspire me.  

While I don't sell these or get sponsored for mentioning these soaps, I love them!  I used to buy the goat milk brand ZUM at my local grocers.  But these are larger for the same price, locally made, and come in so many wonderful varieties.  I use them and buy them as gifts as well.  The brand is Mion and they are sold online and locally at my city's farmers market.  I really love all the owner's projects and offerings.  

When I start a new canvas, it's always a little intimidating. There is no mistake yet, no breakthrough either.  It's quite the task to lay that first brushstroke. Stay tuned for some new larger works soon!

Sometimes it may seem a challenge to frame a square print.  Here are some helpful hints. For spaces like children's rooms, apartments, and places where you may not even want a nail in the wall, washi tape is a great idea.  It won't damage walls and one can easily mix and match prints with no need to even frame!   One could also purchase one of my wood panels.  They have a notch in the back for hanging.  The painting can be mounted with an acid free glue stick very easily.  I am happy to trim and mount the print for you if you purchase one of the wood panels in my shop. And then of course, there are frames....
