Aren’t red and green the most magical colors? Happy Holidays everyone! ✨ #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration
Recorded myself painting a duplicate of these kiddos today! Was going to share...but the process I used for this one is pretty simple, and it feels a bit boring to me 🙃😂 change my mind? ..maybe I’ll share it after all?

It’s been a while since I posted any art on twitter 😳 Here are some more recent artwork. I miss working traditionally. #watercolor #illustration #friends

Today I am frustrated with my own limitations. So many projects that I see fully finished as real books in my mind, but I’m only one person and can’t do it all fast enough. Is anyone else feeling this way? Is this my own head getting to me? #QuarentineLife

Found the kid playing with her dog instead of Zooming with her teacher. She told me not to worry. She took a screenshot of herself “paying attention,” then cut her video & replaced it with the picture. “It’s a gallery view of 20 kids, mom. They can’t tell.” She is 10. #COVID19
