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!

**MAGIC**

   I've been playing around with a lot of typography lately, which has been a challenge but a lot of fun! I saw this stamped on a tree last weekend on the Appalachian Trail and it really stuck with me. Doesn't everyone want a little bit of magic in their lives?

I hiked a (small) portion of the Appalachian Trail this past weekend. It was really tough but really awesome. I still wish I was out there. Just being able to think while being deep in the mountains is really inspiring. It's amazing where you're brain goes when all you have to do is walk.

Before the hike actually started...so I was still amped and wide awake haha

My pack was 26 pounds, with water! 

A pattern I did on Monday when I got back, still wishing I was camping under the stars

 I've been really into donuts lately...they're just a fun thing to draw! So I did a cute little cut paper donut to add to my collection.
