Painting leaves is such a calming activity. They can just go on forever, branch to twig, leaf to bud, oh, let’s extend it over here... ah, so relaxing! • This little folded card now needs a home.

Yesterday my sweet husband and I celebrated 10 years married. I’m a little grayer than I was a decade ago, but who cares? ☺️ He is my love, by my side, and we had a wonderful day together! • I love you, Conrad! @echodeltacharlieinc . . . . #10thanniversary #tenthanniversary #anniversary #andithoughtilovedyouthen #tenyearsago #tenyearanniversary #iloveyou #standingthetestoftime #tenyearslater #stillinlove #istilldo #ido #forevertogether

I so enjoyed doing this watercolor home portrait for my client. Her father had designed the house for their family but in recent years it’s been sold on as the kids grew up and the parents downsized.

One of the things that bothered me most about the international lockdowns was labeling people as “essential” vs “non-essential”. Listen, I get it; I worked in a hospital and EMS for years so I understand the rationale behind this system. But at the same time, it’s dangerous and can be perceived as undermining to umbrella categorize people. (That’s part of the problem we are seeing now with these race riots and protests.) • The truth is that every job is essential to the person holding it. A hairdresser isn’t saving lives, but she is feeding her family. A restaurateur isn’t running an ER, but they are providing jobs to many others and paying their own bills too. Everybody’s job is essential to them. (And don’t get me started on how valuable people are, how needed we are within our families and circles.) Basically, in one way or another, YOU are essential. . . . . #calligraphyvideo #calligraphyvideos #dippencalligraphy #pointedpencalligraphy #youareessential #essential #essentialworker #youmatter #youareimportant #opuscalligraphy #copperplatecalligraphy #copperplate #copperplatescript #copperplatevideo #quarantine #quarantine2020 #tulsacalligraphy #tulsacalligrapher #oklahomacalligrapher

Just a little trio of watercolor leaves, doin’ their watercolor thing! • I’ve been quiet over here as I madly paddle underwater, trying to keep my head above a bunch of things, but I hope you are well and enjoying the lovely spring weather before it gets too hot!

I saw a tutorial from @tri.shiba on how to draw an acanthus leaf, so here is my first attempt! It turns out I have a shower curtain covered in these pretty leaves, so I must have liked them before I even realized it!Thanks for the step-by-steps, Tri! . . . . #acanthus #acanthusleaf #acanthusleaves #learningtodraw #basicsketch #firstattempt #itsmyfirsttry #alwaysgrowing #expandyourhorizons #classicshapes #opuscalligraphy #pencilsketches #pencilsketch

*SOUND ON!* A few days ago I shared a little watercolor butterfly. It was received better than I’d expected, and @glendaswancalligraphy asked me for a tutorial! So here we go, friends, with a quick video on how I painted that butterfly. (Please excuse my clumsy video... I have much to learn about filming! 🎥) Swipe to see the finished photo, and thank you for your interest! . . . . #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorbutterfly #watercolorbutterflies #butterfly #butterfliesofinstagram #butterflies🦋 #butterflypainting #watercolortutorial #paintingtutorial #watercolor_daily #watercolour #watercolorartist #behindthescenes #bts #opuscalligraphy

Is it too late for the obligatory new-month-post-that-I-usually-miss? Naaaaah! I can’t believe it’s May already. I have already missed a family anniversary AND a birthday because April went by in such a weird blur, I forgot to flip my calendar page! (Yeah, that’s right: I have a paper calendar hanging on my wall. OLD school! 😂) . . . . #hellospring #timefliesby #thisyearisflyingby #glasspencalligraphy #glassdippen #glasspen #flourishedcalligraphy #flourishing #flourish #dippencalligraphy #dippen #watercolorink #ecolinewatercolor #ecoline #opuscalligraphy #newmonth #may #happymay #tulsacalligraphy #tulsacalligrapher #copperplatecalligraphy #copperplate #copperplatescript #flourishedcopperplate
