The Postcard Project: Flamingos

I got on a flamingo kick this past weekend -- and it was all brought on by our trip to an orchid grower!

Inspired by: Orchids

A few days ago, my husband and I went on our first date of the year to a local orchid grower. Or maybe I dragged him there and called it a "date." ;)  It's the dead of winter, it's the midwest...yet there was still an impressive display of blooms. 

My head was swiveling in every direction.

The Postcard Project

This year, I started The Postcard Project. Every week, I am committing to making two or three watercolor paintings on 4x6" postcards. This is my way of making original art accessible at every price range. 

Tiny Kind Notes #allingoodkind

I'm all about spreading kindness. So when I had some extra black card stock, I got to thinking...how fun would it be to make tiny, cheerful notes and spread them around town?

My Favorite Watercolor Paints

I'm asked quite a bit what watercolor paint I use. Often enough that I decided to write a blogpost, anyway. The answer is: a few different ones. Here's my experience with the brands I've tried. Take it for what it is -- one person's experience. A person who loves to paint, but just one person, nevertheless.
