Morning Flight
“The air was crisp and cool beneath wings
The sky grew light until the mountains blazed
And the mist pulled from the green, deep water
The smallest sounds echoed across the lake
The whoosh of movement, calm and steady
Warmed the muscles, welcomed the new day.”

Another WIP of "Morning Flight", my next original release tomorrow morning on @everydayoriginal.bsky.social!
This whole front portion with all the vegetation in the foreground is 90% #gouache, 10% #watercolor. The watercolor was mostly used as loose fill, but necessary for good coverage.

So happy to report that the swelling on Cedar's face has gone! With that I'll share Cedar pics for #Caturday

Went outside to nab a couple little bits of cedar branches to photograph the new painting with, and found this lovely little stick covered in lichens and tiny moss! Full size photos for all that detail goodness (that I could get on my phone at least).

"Departing Hometree"
The tree that sheltered the egg, that nestled the hatchling, that shaded the fledgling & covered it in storms. The tree in the forest that held it close, until one day the dragon spread its wings & lifted from the ground with exuberance and possibility.

I think I need to take a break from painting before I overwork this poor paper. But here's a rare WIP of something!

Just realized I hadn't redeemed ANY of my Staples points for like... years I think? Well, guess who just restocked some mailers. I go through ones that hold 5x7 prints the fasted, so I grabbed the thicker box for multiple prints or prints mixed with pins, and the flat mailers for just 1-3 prints

This is actually so fucking stupid and I'm mad about it even though I have never really cared about the color of the year lol.
Pantone I reject your "expertise" and turn to WGSN with that gorgeous teal.

Pantone are we serious right now? Or ever? I reject you now, you don't know what you're talking about. Or how to read the room. Hiss

It's fern week 🌿
It turns out that ferns make a lot of appearances in my artwork, and it's no surprise considering how much I love them.
These are just a few of the lino block prints I've done with ferns!

My poor baby Cedar had a swollen upper lip so he's on anti inflammatory meds for a few days. The little freak actually loves it. I don't even have to hold him 😂

A note about the new PNW ferns stickers is that they have clear backing, so the white peels completely away to reveal only the fern itself.
More info:
🌿 Transparent Premium PET Permanent adhesive
🌿 2-4 year outdoor life with glossy laminate only
🌿 PVC free product
🌿 dishwasher safe, water resistant

Here's all six PNW fern watercolors I did for the sticker set. I'm really happy with how they all came out, and I think they make really cute little pieces!
The originals are painted all around 2.25 to 4.25 inches give or take a half inch. I have 3 of the originals left

Was already boycotting Target. Using Chatgpt is already unethical af, so maybe those who use it don't care about ethics and what these companies have done. But anyway I noticed four names: Walmart, Target, Shopify, Etsy. Not surprised about three of those, but Shopify too? Ugh

November's lino cut print "Solitude" felt like a step up in my lino work. After doing around 36 of these I feel like I'm finally starting to get the hang of it lol
I mixed Pthalo green and platinum white to get a slightly lighter green and I love the results on the tan paper. :)
