Fall walks lead to those lovely floating leaf and petal moments that I’ve been inspired by lately! This painting had a subtle “The Creation of Adam” shape with the pink drifting down to graze the blue 🌸💙

I used to paint a lot of lavender & bamboo, but lately it’s been cherry blossoms! Planning to see the cherry blossoms in nyc next year, and can’t wait to hopefully get real life inspiration in honor of this momentary muse 🌸

Inspired by today’s Michigan Water Color Society Fall meeting! It was a great time to connect with local artists! I’ve been in a bit of a creative slump but feeling ready to get back to ‘work’ soon 🥰

Even when there is so much wrong in this world, there is still beauty.

The Michigan Water Color Society 78th Annual Exhibition was such an honor to be a part of! Another highlight of my art journey 💜 The whole experience felt complete seeing ‘Always and Always’ in the annual MWCS booklet!

You can still find “Always and Always” at the Janice Charach Gallery in West Bloomfield until July 23rd! Even if it sells, it remains throughout the Michigan Water Color Society exhibition run. So if you’re looking for something artsy to do to, stop on by!

The stately saguaro stands tall against a desert backdrop rich with color. This painting was inspired by the landscape near Scottsdale, Arizona.

“I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.”

~ Pablo Neruda (1904-1973)

I was inspired by the spinning wheel of bag charms at Sandy’s Boutique in Ann Arbor 🎀✨😍
