Daily Paintworks, Again


Since I am ever hopeful that I can start painting on a regular or semi-regular basis, I have decided to re-join Daily Paintworks.




My plan is to list my original art at DPW and sell my prints on Etsy until I have something more permanent, like my own e-commerce website.

Right now I am listing the few pieces left over from the Lavender Festival and hopefully in another couple of weeks I can start listing new art.

You can always find my links in the side bar to the right, or by clicking the SHOP! tab near the top of this blog.

Thanks for visiting!

Bee Skeps, Lavender, and Topiaries!


I've been carving even more designs for my note cards! I suppose since garden season is here and we've been doing a lot of outdoor chores, it only stands to reason that my recent designs have a nature theme... bee skeps, lavender, topiaries, and birds. You can see more of the process in my previous post.



My latest block print designs (seen above) were inspired by the work of Thomas Bewick (1753-1828), a wood engraver, artist, and naturalist.

I'm really excited about carving more subjects, most will be of a nature theme, but I do want to start incorporating every day household objects, as well.

If you are interested in these hand-carved, hand block-printed note cards,
they are available in sets of 6, and come packaged in clear gift boxes.
Size: 4" x 5.5"
Ink Color: choose violet or turquoise (I'll be adding more color options at a later date)
