A week ago I did another plein air oil painting session at Aliso Beach in Laguna, and brought @uncommonsage.bsky.social along. That was her first time landscape painting there, my second. Perfect fall beach weather! (1 of 3)

I made a linocut of my neighbor’s house, for his 70th birthday gift. I then water colored the print, and my husband made an oak frame for it. He liked it so much he may have cried a bit 🥹 good neighbors are everything 🏡 #linocut #watercolor #printmaking

As someone on a county library board: we track checkouts, we track event attendance, hell we track door counts. Just visit your local library and show them some love
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Very quick plein air oil painting today. Apparently there was going to be a race, so they made @uncommonsage.bsky.social and I leave after about an hour. But fun was had!

I finished up this plein air oil painting I started last week. My daughter and I try to go outdoors to paint every Wednesday. We both loved this scene and the raking light across the path. 🎨

When I chose this crab linocut for this months calendar, I didn’t realize I was settling the whole damn mood.

Lots of feelings today and most days. Anger, anxiety, and heartache. Not a lot to celebrate.

Two watercolor paintings from my camping trip at Jalama Beach, CA last week. When I go camping I do a plein air painting every morning while DH makes breakfast. It gives me a nice travel diary of our trips, and painting really fixes the scene in your mind. 🎨

June is the month of my anniversary, along with many other couples. So if it is yours as well, happy anniversary! I carved this linoleum cut many years ago for the occasion 🩷

Today we were visited by the man who grew up in our house. He stops by every couple of years, and has since we bought the house. (We didn’t buy it from him, but he likes the care we have put into it) he is now 93.

Here is a plein air oil painting from last May. I had fun trying to capture the subtle colors in this scene.
