Hello! I hope your summer has been filled with joy and inspiration. As always, I'm excited to share the latest happenings in my studio and the artistic journey I've been on lately.
Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit my parents’ farm in West Tennessee. And it was a wonderful surprise to drive up and suddenly be surrounded by stunning wildflowers.
I couldn’t wait to bring my sketchbook out into the flowers, and once I walked through them, the sunlight created a breathtaking scene that ignited my creative spirit. It was a truly transformative experience.
I spent countless hours sketching and capturing the essence of these beautiful blooms. Their delicate petals and enchanting colors have become the cornerstone of my latest artistic venture.
In addition, I have also had the pleasure of visiting Pawley's Island, SC, a place of cherished family memories. The captivating ocean views surrounding the island and the ever-changing colors of the seascape left me in awe.
I am currently in the studio translating these awe-inspiring moments onto canvas, paper, and linen. Through my paintings, I aim to convey the magical moments the sunlight created when it danced across the waves.
Because of these two fantastic vacations, I have begun to fully immerse myself in my work, bringing these inspirations to life before the colors attempt to fade. I'm working diligently on a collection of larger paintings on watercolor paper, canvas, and linen.
I am infusing the stunning wildflower fields from my parent's home and the ever-changing colors of the sea from Pawleys Island. Each brushstroke is laced with the passion and joy I experienced during my travels.
In the coming weeks, I will still be fully immersed in my studio, bringing these inspirations to life. I can’t wait to share these pieces with you.
Throughout June and July, I've made it a point to maintain my Morning Find sketching practice as much as possible while juggling daily life as a mother while the kids are out of school. :)
I’m excited to share the sketches with you on July 31st at 2 pm CST for email subscribers and 3 pm to everyone.
This collection showcases various sketches, including flowers, landscapes, and seascapes, providing a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of my recent travels. I am offering you a diverse collection that captures the essence of my recent artistic explorations.
It's the most extensive variety of sketches I've put together this year, and I hope they bring a touch of summer's beauty into your lives.
