This past weekend was the Ladies’ Fall Getaway to the mountains. We packed the car with too much food and art supplies and drove north to spend three days loving the abundant time and inspiration with best friends. This weekend was all about gouache paint and seldom used watercolor paper. Suzy and I hit it hard and painted most the weekend, surprising ourselves with how fun it was.

This image is a detail of a journal page I worked on. I think I ate too many carbs, because the bagel motif showed up everywhere.

This hot number reminds me of the days of pattern designing. That seems so long ago…

And what this is truly about is to share my expression of love and admiration for three amazing women who I get to call friends.

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
