june at noon

Well, hello! I hope all you who celebrated Thanksgiving last week had a good one! I’m still recovering from The Ick, but … it’s Cyber Monday! And so I had to pop in to let you know that for today only you can get a 15% discount in the june at noon shop with coupon [...]

Still quite under the weather. Trying to make up for lack of creative energy by doing business-y things while I rest. ***************** AND FOR OTHER NEWS OF NOTE… All right, holiday shoppers! From now through January 15, you can get free shipping in the june at noon shop with coupon code HAPPYHOLIDAYS. US customers need [...]

It was really cold today. The leaves have turned deep orange, and I barely have a voice. ***************** For the month of November I’ll be posting habit-style in participation with their open flickr group. I’ll be adding to the pool as I feel inspired, but also here on my regular Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule. I hope you’ll [...]

My, oh my, that rainy weather sure makes me sleepy. ***************** If you’ve been hanging around here at all in November, you know I’m participating in habit’s open flickr group for the month.

Just a little ACEO drawn with a water-soluble pen and a wet paintbrush. I’m starting to add some of these miniature original pieces in the shop. Have a good weekend!

I’d hoped to have some action shots of, you know, creative activity, but this is yet another whirlwind week in which I can’t quite keep up with everything that’s happening around me. (What is it about Autumn?) So instead, I offer some current finished work that is part of a larger work-in-progress-type collection. I think. [...]

“Don’t look round, Miss Potterswell,” he would say when she was working on his dressings, “but I think Clarence may be going to pounce on you this very minute.” Clarence was bigger than Clarissa, and presumed to be the husband lizard. Miss Potterswell would give a muted squeal and say quaint things like: Such a [...]

I started these botanical drawings just to keep myself doing some sort of something while I was in my creative funk a while ago. I love the look of black ink on white paper, and doing drawings that focus on line and texture really satisfies me. I decided to add some simple watercolors to finish [...]
