Appalachian Trail Part 2!

Over the weekend I went on another backpacking trip on the Appalachian Trail. We had beautiful weather and a lot of great memories that will definitely stay with me for a very long time. Nature's awesome.

Sushi

I haven't had sushi in a while, but it sure has been on my mind!

Obsessed Inspired

 I moved into my own apartment back in June, so the last few months have all been about decorating and turning every room into the apartment I've always dreamed of. I needed a painting or something for over my bed, so I figured I'd slowly work on a new project as a way to relax after a long day in front of the computer...until I became so obsessed with working on the painting, I finished it in 3 days! What can I say, I just love to decorate! I gotta knock these puppies out!

Saturday Outdoor Painting Extravaganzaaaaaaaa!

 This past weekend, I attended an En Plein Air painting day at a local farm. It was so much fun-- A beautiful day, a beautiful setting, and I met a lot of great artists. It was so cool to see how everyone interpreted the same location in so many different ways. I went with the colorful, patterned-filled interpretation (of course) and am looking forward to when they hold their next event!

This one is still a work-in-progress...sitting in the sun for 4 hours was really exhausting!

 I have been HORRIBLE about posting new work//fun sketches//brain dumps here. This summer was so busy frolicking through fields of daisies that I just wanted to keep everything to myself! Here's a big cut paper piece that I worked on for a few months to #digitaldetox after a long day on the computer. I worked on it from May until about July-- that's a lot of flowers.

It started out like this...

and ended up here!
