Watercoloring: really overworked this one, partly due to power loss partly due to not ever getting it to where I wanted but it’s practice and I learned and it was joyful as @thiswritingdesk would say that’s the best part!

Sketching: here’s my bookstore from yesterday. Still using Pinterest for inspiration and am so grateful for other artists I can emulate. We lost power as I was drawing this so finished it in low light.

Lettering: yesterday’s @lizelayne #sidebyside2023 lesson centered around a story that involves violets and had this wonderful quote so I decided to draw some violets and write it out.

Lettering: In this morning’s #sidebyside2023 class @lizelayne linked to poems that might change your life which reminded me of One Art by Elizabeth Bishop which deeply affected me and has stuck with me since my friend @winduprobots introduced it to me years ago.
I loved painting this page and how the colors mixed the way they wanted to and I loved writing out the poem. #art #lettering #poems #poem #elizabethbishop #oneart #lizlamoreux #loveyourimperfectletters #watercolor #artjournal #watercolorjournal 
Sketching: today’s little house, while these are getting a bit easier the more challenging ones are not getting any more achievable to me so I have to figure out how to slowly get there…

Making: endless stamps. Thanks to the second lesson in #fodderschool I am having so much fun!

Lettering: since the opposing page was dark, I decided I wanted to do something dark in this page too. Light lettering on dark was one of the few #loveyourimperfectletters exercises I hadn’t finished so it feels wonderful to check that off now, too. This poem was in this morning’s #sidebyside2023 lesson by @lizelayne I can’t recommend that class enough. So grateful for those who share their talents so we can learn.

Watercoloring: made this last night while watching The Ballad of Buster Scruggs with my kiddos. What an unusual movie that was.

I didn’t realize this was an audio-only companion but I loved it and it was a wonderful palette cleanser. Christina Lauren are always fun to read. 
Sketching: a simple house for today.

I waited for this book from the moment I heard it was coming. I love and adore Patchett and I knew I was going to love this book. And I completely did. Getting to listen to Meryl Streep read it was just an additional unexpected bonus. It’s light, beautiful and a true joy to read.
3.5 stars This was my first Ann Leckie. Even though it was hard to follow at times, I loved the themes of belonging and family in this unusual novel. I also loved the seamless diversity in the book while it’s a topic of discussion inside a story. I think this one would have been better read vs listened to but I am still glad I picked it up. |
