Seeing double!

Today I picked up my first round of print samples for my edition of reproductions of my watercolors.  

I have to say, I'm excited to see these.  The color match is near perfect, and the archival textured paper creates an overall watercolor effect.

 I also had an enlargement test- great clarity from a 8x10 to a 18x 24.

Golden Marguerite harvest time. Already harvested my 2nd batch, this grows so well with very little care or water. I started this from seed 4 years ago and it self propagated and spread wonderfully.

The weather has been quite lovely in the Sierra Foothills. There’s a slight cold snap next week, but other than that it has been in the 70s and the perfect weather for gardening.

Soya as a Primer
Soya as a Primer

The year long Printing & Painting On Textiles course that I’m taking from Plants & Colour has kicked off with a session dedicated to using Soya. I am familiar with Soya from a few of the workshops that I took in Japan, but this is a great push to adapt this into my general process.

During ArtMix I did not have a chance to see the Crocker’s exhibit featuring paintings from Museo de Arte de Ponce, so I made a trip to experience the installation on a quiet morning. The selection was beautiful and brought a sense of connection to the island by having its collection here in Sacramento. I applaud the work of the Crocker for coordinating this touching exhibit, and I’m glad I was able to make it after our event.
