Bird on the Rocks

I will be spending a good part of my Saturday at the dentist and carving out this bird stamp based on a design I painted on a rock last year. 

If you want to learn my stamp carving techniques in depth

 my book "Making An Impression" is now available :-)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Sharpies

Having fun & experimenting with my new Sharpies.

My Stash

Thank you to all my lovely & very thoughtful friends that have sent me birdie stamps in the mail over the years :-) My paper ephemera stash is growing and I'm looking forward to incorporating more of it my art. Isn't it just beautiful and inspiring to look at?

On My Desk

Lots of drawings with micron pen on paper.

Painted Leaves

These past few weeks I've been drawing like crazy for a project I can't talk about yet but today I took a little break to paint some pretty eucalyptus leaves I found during my walk with Manolo & Turbo. I used a size 0 liner brush and acrylic ink.

At the Museum

This morning I had the privilege of visiting the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. It is absolutely magnificent and awe inspiring.

I made a new furry friend while having breakfast at the Museum's Cafe :-)

And the Winner is...

Congratulations Anikó!!!

Thank you so much for all the lovely birthday wishes! 

It was extra special because of each one of you ♥

Birthday Giveaway!

I'm celebrating my 45th birthday today and as Sugar Ray Leonard wisely said 'it's better to give than to receive' so I want to give y'all a chance to share in the joy with this little giveaway. The prize is one of my original watercolors "Peonies", a typical Mexican 70% chocolate bar and a small bouquet of paper flowers. Leave a comment this weekend for a chance to win. I will pick a random name on Monday morning (Mexican time).

Thank you so much for all the birthday love, you guys are the best!

Variations of Green

Now all the pretty greens I saw yesterday. 

We went on a short road trip with Manolo & the boys to the nearby town of Avandaro. The countryside was gorgeous and brimming with blooming cosmos & fall wild flowers.

We saw shepherds with their sheep, roaming cows and beautiful horses galloping with their foals. There a few things I enjoy more than road trips during this time of year.

Variations of Pink

Different shades of pink I saw today on my walk with Turbo.

Garden Birds

A very fun project I'm working on for a company in the UK.

Watercolor & collage on Fabriano.

Weekend

My brushes & I had a very productive weekend. It was also filled with long walks with Turbo and delicious meals with Manolo & the boys.

Violet

Watercolor on paper. The last of the flowers I had to paint for a very fun project I'm not allowed to talk about yet.
