Making prints today and these called out to also be cards. Taking them down to @artsprescott today #watercolorpainting #tracyhorner #artistsoninstagram #sendsomelove https://www.instagram.com/p/CeW45-ErG2h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My painting is done and i love the colors. I don't have a frame that fits so it's just going to have to sit like this for a while. The little quilt hanging underneath is almost done too and short of matches. #inkcircles #watercolor #artistsoninstagram #technicalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWFVZerVAz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Working on another painting. I must say these are rather addictive, and quite a process to lay out the code and then the grid and then the structure. #art #artistsoninstagram #watercolor https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBQJeNr3CA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Bookmarks from my mandala paintings! Now in my Etsy shop (inkcircles)- these were so fun to make and every one is different. #inkcircles #mandala #bookmarks #booklover #mandalapassion #mandalaartist #mandalaartistsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CYKAEo5LL1g/?utm_medium=tumblr

Time for a refresh at @artsprescott with our semi-annual layout shuffle. Brought in some new pieces, prints, and a whole bunch of art cards. #artsprescottgallery #inkcircles #inkcirclesmandala #mandala #mandalaartist #mandalapainting #mandalaart #mandalapassion #watercolor https://www.instagram.com/p/CVgd2nYrpiY/?utm_medium=tumblr

I added some framed prints to my display at @artsprescott - it makes it super easy and inexpensive to brighten up a little spot in your home. I loved popping these together and can't wait to do more. #mandala #mandalapainting #inkcircles https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_A-ZYrMlQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

My new big-ass printer lays down some mighty fine dense black ink. Figuring out all the settings to make prints is a challenge, so I started with the black and white drawings. #inkcircles #Celtic #printmaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CIT3W8IntmY/?igshid=1af5ghwg4zo3k

New ink day. I'm really looking forward to using these. The Sailor HaHa swatches I saw online were incredible, and the Black Bat promises to be a great ink for art. Seriously, Google the Haha and see things you couldn't believe from one ink. Outstanding and super-speedy service from @dromgoolespens where they were able to offer some of the planned exclusive things because the Dallas Pen Show was cancelled. #fountainpen #penandink #inkcircles #inkdrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CFk8xSVndSw/?igshid=oei809lretim

Working on a little coloring page for a few minutes before I head down to the gallery to work. I'm enjoying mixing some Celtic ribbons with the other mandala elements. It takes my mind off things while the country falls apart. #mandalartist #symmetry #arttherapy #inkcircles #pencilcircles https://www.instagram.com/p/CFFr-HaHSJ_/?igshid=1xehkz9u4nghc

Built this sweet little stand to display my art pendants at the gallery downtown. It's painted metal so the magnetic clasps just stick to the back at whatever height I plop them. The final touch was a rubber teardrop weather strip added along the top so the satin cords don't crease or snag. As an engineer I feel slightly obligated to overdesign everything. I had a few more than would fit comfortably, so the spares are in my Etsy shop should anyone be interested. #originalart #artjewelry #displaydesign #inkcircles https://www.instagram.com/p/CEkqZt1H_iB/?igshid=11jtuocboxabb

Just finished this hybrid Celtic mandala. Tomorrow this will go out as a coloring page for my Patreon supporters. I'm really intrigued by this one and excited to paint it. #inkcircles #celticknot #patreoncreator #originalart #adultcoloringbooks #coloringpages #mandalapassion #mandalartist #symmetry #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr https://www.instagram.com/p/CEQQ8f3HHOl/?igshid=16z5la12dvfaz

Another mandala has been embellished and dissected to produce a small crop of tiny rectangles. 10 pairs of fronts/backs waiting to be made into original art pendants. #inkcircles #repurposedart #mandalajewelry #mandalartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CDkSzBgHpeh/?igshid=1fte1uci6fsp1

Remember this mandala painting? I chopped it up and it's now a collection of necklaces. I like it even better this way. Eight pendants featuring original art now in my Etsy shop (Ink Circles). There were 9, but I'm keeping one. #jewelrymaking #artjewelry #inkcircles #mandala #repurposedart https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZyyMqHYdS/?igshid=sgeazqtrsr4j

Working at the Arts Prescott Gallery this morning. These are some of my pieces waiting to be sold so I can bring in new ones. The age old problem of more art than wall. #mandalartist #artforsale (at Arts Prescott Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDMjS1wHR75/?igshid=6ptne7d11chn
