It’s been a minute, but here I am with a new #watercolor of #NealsYard, a fun courtyard in London’s Covent Garden that is known for its brightly colored buildings, cafes, and shops. We visited it during our European trip in early June. I took some liberties, but you get the gist. #urbansketching

The Moon Makes an Appearance (watercolor) by Yours Truly (2026). Let’s just say there’s an Irish pub somewhere in that little town. ☘️ ✌️

A clear sign that spring is on the way: The return of geese to my backyard (where they like to 💩.) Needless to say, I prefer them in the creek and so that is where I painted them. Wishing you peace, good health, and happiness, amid this mad world we are living in. #watercolor #ConodoguinetCreek

My watercolor of the Delaware Breakwater East End Lighthouse on the inner Delaware Breakwater in the Delaware Bay, off the coast of Cape Henlopen & Lewes, DE.
On this MLK Day, let’s commit to work for peace, stand up to fascism, abolish ICE, & treat all people with dignity.

Blaze loved to watch us eat dinner with that expression of quiet desperation. Will one of you drop a biscuit please? A strip of chicken perhaps? A dog can hope. We miss you, Blaze.🐾🌈

Went to see The Nutcracker at the Philadelphia Ballet this past weekend. So much whimsy! So I did what I always do, and I drew a thing. #art #watercolor
