I'm teaching a new course! It's going to be a short introduction
workshop on basic tools and techniques for painting botanical subjects
in watercolor, whether you’re a beginner or a watercolorist looking to
learn a new style.

There's nothing quite like having some fancy avocado toast and a
cappuccino in the window of a busy cafe, is there? I spent a day in one
of my favorite seaside towns, and it was pretty much perfect.

Even though I'm not necessarily going to paint about these things, they
take my mind off of what needs to be done and provide experiences and
feelings to hearken back to when I need them.

I'm taking the time to celebrate.

I began making art in earnest one year ago, with the hope of being
able to make a living at it. One year later, and I think there's
promise! I've learned so much, and I feel (mostly) hopeful about the
future of the Paper Fern Studio.
