Just a reminder we are having a little art sale out of our garage this Sunday from 11-4. It will be rainy, so dress warm! But we will have lots of warm drinks and snacks to keep yourself nourished while you browse all the art. #concordca #bayarea #art

New bookmarks! It is a two sided design, sunrise themed. I don’t sell them, but rather give them as gifts with orders. Also there are no reprints. This one has a warm and cozy feel to it. #art #bookmark

Painted this doggy sculpture I made, along with a vase from Anu Ghandi. Calling it “The Watchdog”. Feeling excited for this long break and to be able to get back in the pottery studio! So many animals, bowls, and mugs to be made. #pottery #painting #oilpainting #stilllife

I found this print at an estate sale a few weeks ago and lovingly put it in a hold pile. They forgot to check it out 😢. I went back today and voila, he was still there. MINE NOW. He reminds me of our Cudabear 🥹. Turns out I also LOVE the artist’s other work. www.rubyetc.com

Prepping for the open studio this Sunday. The Ugly Duckling $5 pottery box always gets cleaned out quick, but I am throwing TONS of stuff in there this year. I love some of them but also just want things out of the house. #pottery #sale

Some newly purchased ceramics! Cups are from Anu Ghandi, and the plate is from a student artist at Red Ox Clay Studio. I’m ready to get my hands in the mud again. I have no problem tossing out every single mass manufactured dish in our cabinet to make space for these beauties. #pottery

Just a little mandarin orange to start the day. #stilllife #oilpainting

Chilly mornings these days! Still happy to be able to get out and sneak in a quick painting though. Rewarded with a near boiling hot shower and hot breakfast. #pleinair #oilpainting

Another realtor commission for a client who sold their home and sadly left behind a beloved maple tree (too large to take). It was a challenge on this gray day to make it interesting, but I opted to zoom in and appreciate all the colors. #pleinair #gouache

Mark your calendars! We are having an open studio sale this year out of our garage once more in Concord CA Sunday, Dec 21. LOTS of new work to see, as well as ceramics from Jon and Me. Hope you can make it!!!

My beautiful Morning Meditation 83 arrived safely and it is even more beautiful in person. Once my Christmas tree comes down, I will hang it with my other tree paintings. Also @heatherihnart.com, thank you for the adorable crow figure you made and the stickers. I 💙 them all.

A longer video showing more sunrises. Just looking back at all these fires up my desire to go painting. #pleinair #painting #sunrise

Starting to organize my paintings. I seriously could have entire shows of 50 different subjects. One of my favorite subjects are the morning birds. This isn’t even including the ones that have sold. It’s neat to see the different morning light though. #pleinair #sunrise

Last min plan, but for today and tomorrow I’m giving 40% off to those that spend $150+ in my shop. I leave for LA Mon-Fri for a work trip, but will be back and packing any orders to make it before Christmas (in the US). Use the code THANKFUL . www.heatherihnartstore.com Thanks all!

The sunrises have been stunning these past few days. Climbed the big hill for this one and nearly died from exhaustion 😆. It was worth it though. #pleinair #sunrise

I’ve painted a few things over the last week but haven’t had a moment to sit and share! The fog has arrived and it’s glorious. I will always drop everything to paint it. I also really love the shape and colors of this tree. #pleinair

I’ve just gotten word that these two have landed in their new home safe and sound, and the owner thinks they’re even more beautiful in person. It’s impossible to get photos exactly as they would appear in your space but I’m always happy to share more pics and answer questions!

Beautiful and fast moving clouds this brisk morning. Thanks all that bought calendars btw, I’ll get them out early this week! #pleinair #sunrise

It’s mornings like this that make me wish I was free to paint all day 🥹, then I remember I need money and health insurance. Absolutely gorgeous out!!! At the end, a fog drifted in and it was beautiful in every direction. Epic cloud formations too! #pleinair #painting

The skies have been sooo gorgeous these past few mornings, but this was the first one that I could paint before the colors were gone. Not as vibrant as the other mornings but still awe-inspiring. Of course we included the morning birds. #pleinair #painting #sunrise

A beautiful day off. A moment to kick my feet up and relax, and also sneak in a painting. I beelined to Heather Farms to paint roses, and despite a cloudy forecast it ended up being almost TOO sunny and hot. Not complaining though, every second was enjoyed. #pleinair #roses #painting

It’s pure torture not having the time to paint when autumn is at its peak. 🥺 Managed to get out this morning though. Watching the leaves fly in the wind like glitter with every breeze never gets old. #autumn #pleinair #gouache

I’ve done a few paintings this week but have been too tired to share. They’re all just “okay” in my mind, but it’s always nice to get out and paint. The morning colors are always a treat. #pleinair #painting
