The Animal's Picnic

July 18, 2017

The Animal's Picnic    12"x12"  watercolor on paper

Summer get-togethers are the funnest, and this bunch has gathered 'round a mushroom cap for a feast of corn and ripe watermelon. Good things are always made that much better with friends. I hope your summer looks something like this (but if you are keeping company with a sweet little otter dressed in retro attire, please let me know, I'd love to tag along!)

Happy Summer!

Thanksgiving thoughts from this bunch of happy critters? Good friends, friendly windows, and pumpkin pie. Hope you get the chance to enjoy a slice of pie during the holiday as well! And if you have any leftovers, why not share a slice with a furry friend?

Patty Cake’s Recipe for Fun   14"x11"  Watercolor on Paper
Patty Cake has her own recipe for fun. And her friends, the ingredients, pop out of the cupboards to help her and add some sweetness.
I wish this is what cooking looked like for me. I’m still checking egg cartons for derby hats.
