Hello snow! I headed out to walk this morning and was distracted with the way the light was hitting the tire tracks in the snow and the way the lines interacted with each other. Inspiring start to the day!

Color Inspiration: Purple Pansies & Orchids
A few of my iPhone "sketches". I wanted to capture the vibrant colors & texture of these beautiful blooms. The surfaces felt like sueded velvet. I was really drawn to the delicate edges and their irregular yet perfect shape.
These inspired the "Flower Portrait" painting below.

In the Studio: Love Knot (Flamingo) - Stages of a Painting
I have flamingos on my mind after posting earlier this week. Wanted to share a painting (& the stages) from this summer inspired by my pink feathered friends!

Color Inspiration : Flamingos
Since today is National Bird Day, I wanted to share a few photos of the flamingos that I absolutely adore (and am slightly obsessed with!). Any time I am in Sarasota, my first stop is the Sarasota Jungle Gardens to spend time with my pink friends.
