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....

Bloom where you are planted! Happy February! Snow, snow, lovely snow...

February is in full force.  And with VAlentine's Day around the corner, I was just thinking of what makes me happy this time of year.  It's very cold outside.  I wanted to go for a run.  But at 6 degrees F., it wasn't too comfortable.  So I am really a homebody this time of year.  I enjoy bringing flowers into the home to bring nature indoors.  I also enjoy crystals and the meaning and energy they can bring to a space.  Other things I like in February are handmade things like notes, knits, and art, as well as something baking in the oven.
