Phew I feel like I’m just coming up for air. First Fo, then Happy, and I went to the dentist for the first time in eight years. I can think of 1 million things I’d rather do than go to the dentist, but I finally went…and it wasn’t as bad as I thought. And I only had two small cavities…which is really a miracle I think. Anyway, here’s what I painting in July:
Day 182: A quick page in my art journal.
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off of our souls.” – Picasso
Day 183: It was raining this day and I painted the trees outside of my window. Look at sweet Happy laying next to me.
Day 184: Various abstract sketches.
Day 185: An acrylic seascape on canvas.
Day 186: A lagoon.
Day 187: A colorful rainbow watercolor and acrylic mix.
Day 188: I burned this leather tag with a design and then added the paint. (Tutorial here)
Day 189: A tiny painting of a chicken.

Day 209: This was a silk screen I used back in the day for the clothing line. It’s been a long time since I’ve printed anything so I decided to try it on paper again. Then I painted on top of it.
Day 210: A rainbow rock.
I did list some of my artwork for sale. You can find it on Etsy here.
