Collage! Real life one! I enjoyed making this. In the process I even answered questions I didn’t know I had. Also this is not a precious sketchbook and wow it’s been liberating!
No frills, just the disarmingly vigorous beauty of the ordinary.

Spontaneous video call with my childhood friends for a baby shower. It was so so so cup-filling. I’ve missed them both so much and I’m so grateful T called so I could be part of M’s celebration.

Reliable, day-brightening babies.
Finished study of a bearded iris from this afternoon’s session (’painting’ via Procreate). The ruffles were a fun challenge to nut out - I could have kept going but my alarm to pick up the kids brought me back to earth. I really appreciate the term study as I learned a fair bit from this exercise.
A fragile point of interest in the winter garden. Imagining this with snow ala Piet Oudolf’s work.
There are moments when raising young children when I really, really want to tell them, “whatever you do, don’t ever have kids."
But of course, I can’t and don’t say it.
