I love fall, I love Halloween, I love Sunday afternoons in my studio and I love this pencil holder my husband gave me a few years ago. #perfectsunday #ckv #illustration #sundayfunday #sundayvibes #creativeentrepreneur #creatives #weekendmood #falldecor #fall #ilovefall #skulls #skulldecor #halloween #bts #behindthescenes #tider #honeybook #atmydesk #inmystudio #studio #illustrator #artist #happyplace #pursuepretty

Sunday’s with nothing on the schedule but relaxing are the things my dreams are made of.

I was asked to make a reservation for Thanksgiving this week. FREAKING THANKSGIVING...ALREADY. It's not even Halloween. We've really lumped October thru New Year's Eve into one entire season of holidays no?

Anyway, here's an illustration from a new item coming to The Art Shop in November. She's my December girl and I love her.

Who has ugly walls? Who has empty walls? Who has a room that needs a refresh?

The Bite My Lip print and all of it's friends in The Art Shop on my website are hear to rescue you and your walls. There's nothing like surrounding yourself with art and images that speak to you. The walls in my home are adorned with a zillion photos of my kids and our family, prints by my favorite artists like Pollock, Warhol and Basquiat. And I also have some amazing original pieces by my friends including 2 Willies from my girl, Ann Genung and a super cool photo from another college friend Amy Whoa. And of course mixed in are some of my pieces. Have a peak in The Art Shop and see if anything speaks to you!

REAL TALK⠀
⠀
I'd like to take a quick minute to thank everyone for their support of all of the new pieces in my collections. I've been working in a really loose style for awhile that never truly felt like mine but rather felt like something I should be doing because it's watercolor and I should let the water do what it wants. But you know what, I don't want to let the water do it what it wants and I'm not ok with the colors bleeding into each other. I want to control everything that paint does and I want layers of color built on top of each other with details painted with the tiniest brush you've ever seen. I need to start with a pencil sketch and I can't handle it when I don't...the composition goes off the rails, the proportions are never what I want and I end up frustrated.⠀
⠀
But the newest prints in my collections are all done the way I want. Super controlled, tiny details all worked out in pencil first and the last step is the thinnest black ink outline you've ever seen. And it makes me happy. I can't wait to paint everyday in a way that I haven't felt in a long time. So I want to say thank you to all of you for your likes, comments, and of course your purchases as I've launched these newest prints, done the way I WANT, all of your encouragement is proof that I'm on the right path.⠀

Make your own happiness...good way to live. No one else is responsible for your happiness and no day of the week can take that away from you. Monday is just another day and it doesn't have to suck if you don't let it. Yeah it's not Saturday or Sunday but everything is what you make of it. I'm a firm believer in looking at things from a positive perspective because we are what we feed on. So have a fabulous Monday, we all deserve it.
