Watercolor sketches

On Sunday,  I took some time to play around with watercolors for fun.  More to come! 

A Video of Colorado Travels

I know little about the laborious task that is video editing, yet I am constantly drawn to and interested in learning more about the art of film.  I decided it would be fun to try my hand at putting together a montage to document my long weekend traversing across central Colorado using videos taken from my iPhone. I traveled from Denver, to Central City, to Fort Collins, to Boulder, and back to Denver using the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway. If you have never taken the byway, it is simply breathtaking and beautiful. 

The music in this is an original song written and performed by two of the friends I stayed with. They are great to listen to. We sat out on the back porch over a fire pit, listening to song after song late into the night. Brandon and Adam are planning to release an EP later this year and have been booking venues to play in Denver.  

Flowers & chalk

Spring is right around the corner now! I am making it a little brighter in my home with these fresh flowers and a new quote for my chalkboard. 

Signs of Spring

As the winter has grown longer and longer, I find myself yearning for spring more and more every day. And so, spring is my inspiration this Sunday. Stay golden!

Sketching

My favorite pastimes: biking and doodles  

Sundays are for hand lettering

joie de vivre: a joy of conversation, joy of eating, joy of anything one might do… And joie de vivre may be seen as a joy of everything, a comprehensive joy, a philosophy of life, a Weltanschauung.

Twice as Nice

Christmas presents wrapped with care are twice as nice.
