I want more Hertz ads of this dog living its best life. Less of the creepy yellow creature or the leather jacket himbo.

This reminds me that it’s been a while since I measured Coltrane’s pet hp. He’s nearing 10 years old and I bet it’s changed a lot! Especially now he’s a big cat brother to a little human.

Uh oh haha, what did I add to this from my iPhone. My Macbook is unsure about some characters!

copy and paste of the list from the original post. only this time each row has an "OBJ" within a dotted rectangle before each work. For example, "OBJ cold brew"

What might quinacridone coral look like? How could it compare across different brands? There's so much cool data available here!

Sometimes there's only 15 or 30 min to paint or make something creatively. I keep the work small in little sketchbooks so it can feel like a meaningful session.

2 by 2 grid of different lions painted in different colors. Top row is labeled "red" with two lions with red manes. Next is "blue" with a cutesy lion surrounded by clouds and stars. Bottom row has "yellow" with a rotund lion with a yellow mane. Next is purple, with a dark purple sky and black-purple sun. The lion sits with a dark purple mane.
All sketched with purple mechanical pencil and painted with watercolor.

I used to spend days enjoying the experience of painting and making art. As a parent, that time is limited to early morning, late at night, or small 15-min chunks. With my recent art project on making a shapes and colors board book, those time chunks worked well!

Painted yellow triangles decorate a page. There's a large triangle in the top left and five smaller ones in the lower right. Painted with gouache.

Sunny art desk shots of my gouache and watercolor palettes.

Collage photo of two paint palettes. The left one is all gouache paint, ordered blue, green, yellow, and red. They are kind of crusty and dried out. A blue pigment is bubbling because I just squirted hydrogen peroxide into it to kill some mold. The right picture is much cleaner palette of watercolors. There's blues, greens, and yellows with a few dried puddles of watercolor paint.

WIP of a fun project I'm putting together for my baby. I painted shapes with a variey of colors, and I will get this printed out in a board book. That way, baby can enjoy my art, especially if it must go in his mouth!

3 paintings in a sketchbook: top is a red circle painted next to three smaller red circles, next is a green pentagon next to two smaller ones, last is a blue kite shape, next to three smaller ones.

A few years back I bought a 200 slot color pencil organizer case from Amazon. It’s bulky but I like how it keeps my colors organized and it’s easy to store flat into a drawer. I don’t use color pencils too often I find it a nice system for what I do!

Don’t come to me asking to be convinced NOT to buy the Gansai Tambi metallic watercolors…. Cuz I just bought some on a whim and they are blowing my mind!!

Watercolor swatches of Starry Colors by Gansai Tambi. 6 abstract cloud shapes of various shades of gold bump into each other. It’s on plain white paper but the metallic sheen is shining brightly!

Watercolor swatches of some significantly less impressive metallic gold paints. There’s sheen to it, but not as intensely.

Squashing the dream job aspirations was pretty liberating. I read this book back in Feb. and found a lot of it very affirming. If there’s the yearning that something right will come your way, and it never seems to shake no matter the job changes, you may be dealing with dream job syndrome.

I love waking up to all the lunar eclipse pics. Thank you to folks like @astrojaz.bsky.social for sharing! I’ve been dealing with some insomnia this week. Seems like it finally resolved Wednesday night and I wasn’t going to try and undo it for the eclipse. Coltrane tried to wake me up for it. 😅

#floralFebruary Evergreen azalea I'm quite happy with the outcome of this flower. I sketched it a few times, created a test paint, then finally painted this. Practice practice practice! 🙇🏽‍♀️

#floralFebruary Wild marjoram After feeling too lost in the details with my previous flower, something compelled me to pull back and be a bit looser on this one. There's fun details and I think it still captures what this pretty plant resembles.
