I was so excited to see my ‘Smile and Wave’ painting in Emily Henderson’s a.ma.zing living room!

We’re in the process of picking finishes for our addition.  I’m dubbing our bathroom (similar tile to this) ‘the little black dress of bathrooms’

I need this coffee mug to remind me in the morning.

We spotted our first naked bike riders of the season this morning, it’s officially summer in Portland!

Also, I plan on adding new prints and originals in my etsy shop this week!

Happy Weekend!

(also pssst, I am raising my print prices this week, so if there is one you’ve been thinking about purchasing, this is would be a good time to grab it!)

when you’re busy.  Seriously, in my head it is still February.  The weeks seem to spin past!  Anyhow here are a few things happening around here…

painting, painting, painting (and wishing I had more time for painting)

loving that our kids love going to concerts as much as we do (and that they great taste in music)

oh, you know, just planning to blow out the back wall of our house next month….

Some things I am currently loving on a Friday….

Don’t forget to check out this show if you’re in the LA area

also I have some work available over at One King’s Lane

Happy weekend!

I am excited to be part of an upcoming show in Los Angeles.  ‘Good Eye Open features over fifty original works of art presented salon style. Experimenting with the idea that artists at various points in their careers can co-exist in one space, this showcase brings together a collection of works from emerging and established artists, as well as mid-century gems rediscovered by curator Melinda Fay.’

If you are in the LA area, I hope you can go take a peak for me, it is for a great cause.  The show opens this Saturday! Profits from Good Eye Open will benefit A Window Between Worlds, a nonprofit organization dedicated to using art to help end domestic violence. Donations to AWBW will directly support their Children’s Windows Program, which provides weekly art workshops to children and teens in domestic violence shelters, transitional housing, and outreach centers.

I finally scanned in some completed paintings.  One interpretation could be I’m ready for summer…

As I was packing up a floodline piece to ship out, I had to take a photo of the back….

This is not my hand, but it might as well be.  This is not my jacket, but it might as well be.  Maybe I should start selling my clothes, because no matter how hard I try, everything has a bit (or a lot) of paint on it.

this print I just purchased of a lone picnic table at the Salton Sea by Pinecone Camp.  I remember learning about the Salton Sea a few years ago after seeing this short film.  This image captures the strange beauty of this place.

some more new Floodline pieces now available!

I just did an update in my floodline shop!  It includes some of my favorite pieces.  Here are a few of the new paintings available.

One of my floodline paintings is featured in this months issue of Lonny magazine!   You can check out the issue here.

(thanks to Lonny and Anna Dorfman of Door Sixteen for including me!)

We took a quick spring break trip last week.  It was the perfect last minute break we all needed and now we’re back to reality…

Happy spring!  1.  branches on my mantle  2.  spring colors finding their way into my work  3.  more branches!

(and two new originals) now available in the shop!

There are just too many things to love about this image, I wish I had the original source (anyone know?).  While streaking into the forest is not on my list of plans this weekend, I’m sure we’ll come up with something.  Have a great weekend!  I am planning on adding several new originals to my shop next week, so stay tuned!

I am coveting this book and this gorgeous book stand.  They would make quite the handsome pair, no?
