I just love this illustration, and it certainly has to be in my top favorites. It depicts my favorite season, and it reminds me of my home, so that of course is what I decided to call it!
Many of you that live in the states are most likely homeward bound for celebrating Thanksgiving with friends and family, and so here's to wishing you happy journeys, and a joy-filled time when you arrive at your homes, wherever they may be. Happy Thanksgiving!!

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!
The Magical Story Hour 12"x12" watercolor & ink on paper
After building their new friend, the following day the children returned to enjoy his company again. And they all settled down for a quiet and magical story hour with their new friend. Everyone is hoping to have their favorite book read aloud, even the animals (the birds are carrying their favorite in the air!) What a wonderful way to spend the afternoon!
Thinking of teaching my own snow sculptures the handy trick of reading a-loud from favorite books.
Building Friendships 12"x12" watercolor & ink on paper
One of my favorite things about the winter is being able to sculpt a jolly being from all that snow. These clever kids have thought of all of the right ingredients for making a new friend and bring him to life! (Sequel illustration to follow shortly)
Wishing happy trails to this original that has just been sent off to its new home!
I'll miss these little trick-or-treaters, good luck out there guys!!

The Woodland Halloween Troupe 10"x8" watercolor and ink on paper
A bit of woodland autumn fun, just one of the reasons why October is my favorite month in the year.
It's no secret that autumn is my favorite time of the year. So even though sweltering summer is upon us, my thoughts are on October...
That time six days ago when this little holiday piece was being inked. ✎ ❄ ❅
Painting squirrels in hats.
Lots of exciting things have been taking place around here! And now I am happy to introduce a new product I’ve been wanting to finish for ages…
A year at a glance calendar!
I just love how the single print holds all of the days in a year, and it will serve as a piece of art until the new year comes (or hang on to it and continue to enjoy it into the new year!)
I’ve listed it in the shop and it’s just in time to make perfect present at Christmas!
P.S. As I was building this, I discovered a fun little fact: twenty sixteen has 366 days due to a sneaky little leap year! I’m already planning on having a miniature party to celebrate that phenomenon, because after all, February 29th’s a rare little ‘fella!
