This is a gift to any traditional artist who wants it. Feel free to save any use it. Any suggestions how best to share a png file publicly? That’s what I’d like to make next.

This is free to use! For artists of any stage in their journey who might not like making designs. Traditional artists are welcome to it. Please don’t sell it or claim it is your design. I left space for a seal but you could attach an image of your art or add a doodle or write a note. Art on! 🎨🖌️

OMG the 🍎’s & Art show was FUN! I put my prints on sale & there are a handful left at a BIG sale price if anyone is interested.

They’re $10 each until they’re gone or to the end of next week, whichever comes first. I want to start from scratch with my new art printer. 🥰

Today I painted a bookmark to suit the mood and current state of the world:

Do you know the artist who I was inspired by?

Let’s play the game again!

Guess the artist these wooden bookmarks were inspired by?

I’m loving painting these.

I’ll be bringing these and many others to the Apples & Art studio tour in eastern Ontario during the last weekend of September at Marlins Orchard. Varnish & tassels still to be added.🥰

I’m not ruling out an announcement that he’ll be starting a trailer park on the White House grounds and rent gold painted trailers out for profit. That, host clan meetings or drag racing. Or maybe he’ll go for a hat trick.

It’s called apples & art and it’s in SD&G Ontario (united rural counties) it will be on the last weekend of the month & I’ll participate at Marlins Orchard. Feel free to message me anytime if you want to order a print. I actually just invested in a brand new printer specifically for my art prints.

Thank you 🥰 I’m making a bunch of different ones, these will be the only ones of this kind. I have an art show at the end of the month.

Watching Netflix and painting bookmarks. Can you tell what inspired this little batch?

It’ll be fine. It’s fine. 😂 A few areas left, then to start adding depth, painted texture and a faux mortar border last of all.

It’s starting to look like something. Not necessarily anything good but something. 😅 It’s weird but then so am I. 🤷‍♀️

There’s a cicada concert at full volume in my yard.

Thank you Casey! Much appreciated. Nature truly has been helping most of all.

One of my students asked me if she could see some of my art about a week ago so I told her where she could see some online. Yesterday she asked about this painting and wanted to know what the squirrels were doing. She said it’s her favourite. Can you tell what they’re up to?

7 yrs ago feels so distant. I was sick but thought I was getting better.

I was naive but couldn’t have known how far my health would deteriorate or of the struggles I’d face.

The only power we have is how we react to difficult situations. Celebrate small wins & never give up on what’s important.

I’m so, SO sorry for your loss. Regardless of if it was recent or years ago. I can’t even imagine that level of pain.

That’s a beautiful point Denise. I want to think my dad will always be sending me guidance but for someone who questions even long held beliefs it’s difficult to reconcile without facts.

Do you believe in signs, as in after a loss in the family?

Or is it a coping mechanism & wishful thinking?

Or.. a change in perception of what’s important mixed with introspection heightened by grief?

I know what I want to let myself believe but I’m an over-thinker.
