I'm in love with painting saguaro right now, so I sprinkled some on this nursery art for a friend! . . . . . #azart #cactusart #saguaroart #saguaro #arizonaart #arizonaartist #arizonamom #art #artist #painting #watercolor #primawatercolors #theclassics #painteveryday #babysaguaro (at Tonto National Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/B12JqaTH9MY/?igshid=1cwnl69rxir6
One of the reasons I love watercolor so much is how much it changes as it dries. You can never make it do exactly what you want, you have to let it work it's own magic.

Sometimes an outside perspective can help you improve 1000% faster than struggling on your own. I keep hearing over and over that collaboration is the best way to grow and get out in the world, but I've always been a bit shy and independent. My inner monologue was always telling me that the only person I can rely on is myself. It's taken me years to just ask for help with simple things, but seeing how much better things are for myself and everyone around me makes me want to push forward even harder. It's like taking an breath after holding everything in for so long. I feel alive. What struggles keep you from living your best life? . . . . . #oversharing #bestlife #alive #overcomingfear #cluffpapercraftco #art #artist #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #mysketchbook #illustration #illustrator #myart #myartwork #makearteveryday #artlife #drawingoftheday #succulent #succulentart #botanicalart #pencil #pencilsketch #azartist #arizonaartist #arizonamom #azlife (at Mesa, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GnjxGnPmm/?igshid=115n4dkkgfozy
Last month I got a much needed break from technology at my family's reunion in Utah and finally painted this little scene. I had sketched it 6 months previously on a boat off the coast of Newport Beach! I am so thankful for the opportunities that technology gives me, but grateful for a chance to put it away for a few days. How do you cope with the pressures of social media?

Guys, it's been a crazy, lovely, emotional, overwhelming weekend. I've been feeling ALL the feels it seems, so last night I stayed up late and worked on this sketch until I was mostly done. Art really helps me focus, and subconsciously work through the jumble in my head. Just a few more finishing touches to this piece and it will be ready for it's new home 🏡
