Unexpected Gifts and New Year's Patterns

So, I received the best note in my inbox today from a talented gal that spied my artwork at the TipTop Cafe in WRJ. Thank you for writing about me on your blog, Melissa! Melissa has an awesome BLOG and ETSY site. Check them out!

And while I have had the worst cold ever, couch ridden = pattern making, and I made these two fun patterns to kick off the New Year.

Happy Birthday, Happy New Year!

Happy Birthday, Seth! The big 2-9!! Take a deep breath :)
I love you so much.

Some Landlocked Blues

A little weekend art project. Instead of painting on wallpaper samples, I made the wallpaper. It was a fun experiment. A seashell stamped background with a graphite illustration.

I drove to the orchard this weekend, and the leaves were so beautiful. I couldn't resist taking photos along the way.

Belated...

My artwork has been slow lately. The only excuse I have is that my freelance lifestyle was altered back to the typical 9-5 recently... like within the last month. Got to pay those bills! Getting in the groove of office life is hard. When I come home painting is far from my mind. It's usually more like this: take dogs to park. feed dogs. eat. beer. couch. sleep. boo. Time to get motivated!! I've been sketching a bunch and have updated my website. My friend Urn says I need to tell people when I update it so they can check it out. So! I've put like 15 new sketches in the sketchbook. Check them out! Meanwhile, The Keeper is my most completed work. (WWW.APPLEGANG.COM)

And a happy Monday goes out to all you working folks...
