Summertime...

My daughter and her friends usually end up doing a little ballet on playdates... in princess dress, naturally :) This woodcut is unfinished.


Mr. Darcy and I pausing in the perennial gardens... on one of our long, blissful weekend walks.



My son's drawings always make my heart sing.


I want to plant some of these in September!




Summer is in full gear around here and we are loving every minute of it. The kids are doing dance camps, vacation bible school... and lots of swimming. I'm trying new yoga classes and it is such a rich, satisfying experience. More woodblocks are in the planning and making... and a painting or two will begin this summer as well - itching to get out the brushes and dive in. Hubby is super excited to make his first batch of beer :) I'm going to come up with a lable and he can begin his dream of becoming a brewmeister!

Celebrate the Solstice!

Illustration for the corgi book that is slowly being completed. (linocut)

Wow, the longest day of the year... and the beginning of new things. I've been painting on canvas on the easel... alongside 2 other artists. (we have tandem easels!) Sharing the paintings would be nice except some little elf broke my camera and... well, it's complicated.


Check out our daughter's new flip flops... golden like the solstice with butterflies. Perfectly summer. Dance around a midsummer bonfire or campfire tonight!
