INSPIRATIONS

Got rid of tons of books over the years, but there's always a new book to add to my library. It's worth the money if the book can inspire me to get out the paints.

HOLIDAY BOTANICAL

A little Time out from my holiday running around this week. Appreciation for the quietly beautiful things surrounding me.

HONEYSUCKLE ILLUSTRATION

This is the last of my honeysuckle, till next year … a very fragrant illustration!

ILLUMINATED MONOGRAM

Designed a set of initials for a greeting card company 10 years ago...I'm finally getting around to recycle these initials. My monogram is getting a new life on ETSY,  as handmade card for any occasion.

APPLE BLOSSOM

Watercolor seems to be my favorite medium when I'm  doing botanical study... maybe one day I will do a book on the flowers of Connecticut.

FLOWER POWER

Yes,  MAGNOLIA season came & went pretty fast in Greenwich, CT. I'm NOT painting fast enough to capture all these flowering trees and shrubs!

CHERRY BLOSSOM

After too many winter sketches in monotone, I'm celebrating the first flowers of New England this week. Pure joy to see them in my studio & breakfast table.
