Sketchbook inspiration - a not so traditional sketchbook

But as my style and taste has developed I’ve realized they are beautiful when paired together. My ideal home decor is fairly neutral because

They have beautiful artwork as well as space to write down all the important details for the month, plus space to mark of tasks, top priorities and goals.

Releasing new paintings always gives me all the feelings. Anxious, excited, relieved. These new original paintings are bright, colorful and full of a new energy I’m still slowly digesting. I’ve learned that this is kinda the process I go through each time I wrap up a series of paintings
