I had this idea to draw some beach combing finds in a kind of compilation, but the stones caught my attention and I just kept going with them. I may turn this into a pattern.

lake time
The kids have been begging me to take them to the lake all summer, but the weather has been sub-par for swimming.
Yesterday, I said “screw it” and told them to put on their bathing suits, low-70’s temps and cloudy skies be damned. Tim is visiting family on the west coast this weekend, and the lake makes for a convenient distraction.
While they splashed around, seemingly immune to the chilly water, I took out my iPad and pencil and sketched the scene.
Peonies and more
I’m working my way up to creating floral patterns with Procreate, but I still want more time with my techniques, so here’s more practice!
strawberry with sprinkles
When in doubt, draw food. We’re going through the good stuff at an amazing pace this summer. My favorite is cookie dough.
more experiments in watercolor flowers
The weather has been cooler than usual for August; it has me thinking autumn thoughts, and choosing autumn colors.
succulents
One of the few types of house plants I can keep alive for any length of time. If they’re going to ride with me, they need to be hearty and able to go without tending for long stretches. 😬
empty wreath
I have no idea what to write in this one, but I really love the colors and the way the roses came out.
lettering alphabet
Did I mention the lettering practice? (I’m also going through a rainbow phase, if you hadn’t noticed.)
heart maine
Allllll the lettering practice lately. All of it. My hands hurt. I’ve developed a tic where I two-finger tap on whatever surface I’m working on to undo my last stroke. I tried it in Photoshop and on the surface of the dining room table and was sorely disappointed it didn’t work both times. Send help.
tulips
Tim effectively gave me his iPad mini and the Apple Pencil because I might have been hogging them for drawing purposes. *ahem* After spending more time with Procreate, I’ve decided to upgrade to an iPad Pro in the future. More screen real estate and larger file sizes would be ideal for printing things.
