Happy Earth Day!⁠ ⁠ 'Downstream' is a piece I

Happy Earth Day!⁠
⁠
'Downstream' is a piece I made a few years back, but feels right for sharing today. I started this piece after a walk by the little stream in the park behind our house. I just sat there, watching the teeny tiny fish darting and the leaves and debris floating on by. Every now and then, there would be a weird rainbow shimmer on the surface - some oil or solvent that had made its way into the water system. While the colors were beautiful, they also brought me back from the reverie of the water. They reminded me of the impact we have on the world around us, even just the unnoticed drips of oil from our cars as we drive along. Everything floats downstream.⁠

Just added these little babies as a bonus to my Flowers for Mother's Day sale over on my site. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We've been getting the garden ready and our seeds are all sprouting and growing - so inspiring! So I created this micro-mini buds collection to share with you. These are all just 3" and ready to bloom from the tiniest spaces.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
You can check out the full collection via the link in my bio. (Free shipping through April 18th)⁠⁠

The catalogs are here! One month to go til the Chester County Studio Tour!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
May 15th and 16th I'll be opening up my studio (along with 58 other studios in Chester County) for you to come visit. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We've got 5 studios open under one roof at stop #1 in Spring City, with 2 additional guests joining our locals. You can check them out here:⁠⁠

Man, these two took me on quite a journey.⁠ ⁠

Man, these two took me on quite a journey.⁠
⁠
I mostly refer to the rabbits I paint as my bunnies, but when sharing this with one of my co-workers during a zoom call, she said 'Those aren't bunnies, those are Hares!' I guess while I see them all as bunnies, I forget that bunnies have this connotation of these timid, cute fluffy little things, which is not really how I see rabbits at all.⁠
⁠
They are alert and fast and strong. If you've never had a pet rabbit, let me tell you when they kick, they KICK!⁠
⁠
So these 2 started in my head as a mother and child, then morphed into a mated pair, then shifted to a couple of bucks, but always they were on the look out, keeping watch over each other, showing love through their strength.⁠

If only it were actually this quick!⁠⁠
Here you can see the process of some quick bunnies on paper. No collage or writing on these, but an intuitive approach after choosing a limited palette.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I will often do this type of grouping to play with new color combinations or just to loosen up after a period of non-creative time.⁠⁠

Guess whose birthday it is today... That's right - its Rosie!⁠
⁠
Happy Birthday to our own little April fool! ⁠
⁠
Yes, this is one of her favorite spots to sit. Top of the stairs so she can see out the front door and keep tabs on the neighborhood. We don't call her Nosey Rosie for nuthin'!⁠

From completed background layer, to sketch, to final painting.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
That sketch is where I really start to get excited about the piece - the full vision starts to materialize. I sketch with more water soluable media - stabilo pencils and neo-color crayons with a quick water wash. Just like the lettering, these will blend and mix with the paint as I finish out the detail work, keeping things loose and fresh.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"As The Moon Rose" is my County Collector piece for this year's Chester County Studio Tour. Available May 15th at 10am. (more details on that to come later)⁠⁠

One last studio shot for you before I wrap up and head out into this beautiful weather.

Part of shifting my studio space means downsizing and finding new homes for some of the studio furniture. These shelves are definitely not part of that!
They are coming with me as a way to keep a bit of Spring City Mills in my studio space. When I looked at moving in here, they were still in the renovation process. These were the old stairs they were pulling out of the building. I asked them to save the piece for me, gave it a quick whitewash, and it became the perfect little display for small work.

Can’t leave that behind.

These guys are all getting framed today and will then be making their official debut in May at the Chester County Studio Tour. That will be my last big event in this studio space, I do hope you’ll come out!

This is my ‘when the rabbits would run’ series. All of these have free form prose written in the moon that always begins with “as the moon rose and as the moon set, that is when the rabbits would run...”
