combining two of my loves

Of course I love painting. And I also love hand lettering. How fun is it to be able to combine them both into something beautiful, and inspiring!

the best is yet to be

I am currently taking an online course from Dreama Tolle Perry with my goal being to loosen up. I absolutely love her colors and her brushwork. And it’s so convenient for me to do an online course since I don’t have the time to travel and take a workshop right now. This was the first assignment for week 1, to take something inspirational and play around with color (she uses lots of transparent colors), and just have fun. And fun it was! A perfect mix of my loves of typography and hand lettering and painting. I hope to do more of these to surround myself with inspiration (and also since this one is already sold!) The best is yet to be!

These adorable little (5" square) framed watercolor bee paintings are available in my Etsy store. I created some of them for my shop at Building Character in downtown Lancaster and had so much fun making them that I thought I'd make more to put on Etsy. They make super cute valentine gifts. My niece ordered a set of five to hang in her twin's bedroom as inspiration for them to see every day. Each and every one is handmade and one-of-a-kind with its own quirky and random personality. Bee happy!

I made these adorable little watercolors to sell at Building Character in downtown Lancaster, Pa. They are all one-of-a-kind, handmade watercolors with hand lettering. I think I will make a few to sell in my Etsy shop, too. They are inspired by my friend Lori, from Beebees All Naturals, who is a beekeeper extraordinaire and sells her honey right next to my artwork. Bee happy!
