These daily sketches this past week have been coming to me with much greater speed, ease, and joy than my 100 day project was, so I’ve switched to this practice for now. I was craving paper and ink so I bought myself a new #artjournal (sketchbook). These are more about shape and scribbles and color and speed (so as not to overthink) and imperfection and play...and using whatever tools are within arms reach, without specific parameters. I’m trying to channel my inner child by copying my daughter. 😂 Also no limits to media. Pencil, paint, marker, pen, watercolor pencil, maybe a crayon or sharpie here or there. I currently believe that fluorescent pink is highly underrated but certainly transformative. 🤪 Here’s to all the speedy joyful productive things. #createeveryday #cotfa #carveouttimeforart #sketches #scribbles #drawing #acrylic #ink

We upped our bee 🐝 game this year. Maybe next year we’ll try a new costume. She’s NOT a honey bee, she’s a BUMBLEBEE. (But she eats honey). Get it right.

Two months in a row I’ve had a date with the rising full moon over the lake. 🌕 It’s impossible to capture the awe and spectacular magic of those first few moments as it peaks, brilliant and huge up from behind the horizon. Seriously, you have to see it. I have a Moon app (I know! 🤦🏻‍♀️) to tell me when and where (exactly) it rises and sets, and it is SO cool to be watching exactly as it appears. Waiting. Knowing she’ll always be there. It is really special and feels very intimate. In those first moments, this is MY moon. Hovering low and full. For about 5 minutes it feels so BIG and close. Just over the hill. I’ll be there next month (Oct 13 at 7pm) if you’d like to experience it with me 😍. Pure magic. #harvestmoon #moonrise #moon #oakland #lakemerritt #moonbathing
