Purple Flower Doodle

So, Monday was my birthday (being 30 makes me an official grown up now, doesn't it?) and my friend Jess bought me this gorgeous handmade sketchbook! I love it so so so much!



I finally got up the nerve to actually draw in it last night, after much agonizing over the idea that I might ruin the awesomeness that is the book by drawing in it. So here's my first doodle in my new book-



In other news, I'm finally nearing the end of the painting I've been working on (quite sporadically!) for the past few weeks. You can kind of see it in the background of the sketchbook pic. I'm hoping to be done with it this week! :)

Autumn Tree

Fall is my favorite season, and nothing makes me happier than the beautiful leaves. Every year I make my husband take me to the Smoky Mountains in October, just to look at the leaves. So, this picture is one of my favorites ever!

Artwork for Baby Megan

Wow, I haven't posted in a long time! I guess it's safe to say that my "sketch a day" plan didn't exactly pan out. :P Between homeschooling, my own schoolwork, and opening my art studio, I just ran out of time. However, I was honored to be asked by my good friend Kim to do a couple of commission pieces for her beautiful baby Megan's nursery! Here they are-







Both pieces are 8"x10" matted to 11"x14" colored Conte pencils on smooth, recycled Bristol paper.

Thank you to baby Megan for being my inspiration! :)
