I personally don’t know if there’s anything cooler than using a mug that’s still warm from the kiln.
It’s rare that I keep pieces for myself, but I love this mug too much to give it up.
Keep an eye on my stories to see some of the new work that came out of my most recent kiln load! All the work (except this mug 😜), will be for sale at @pomeroyfarm ‘s Farm Day event next weekend! (May 1st and 2nd). See my last post for details on that.
Also, Ruby says “woof”

I’m so excited to be a vendor at @pomeroyfarm ‘s Farm Days on May 1st and 2nd! It’s open 11:00-5:00 (the gates will close at 4:00!). Swipe to see a sneak peak of the beautiful location and some pics of my booth from last July.
This event is so much fun. There are a lot of great vendors coming this year, as well as live music (!!), food, and a bunch of fun activities around the farm for the whole family!
Can’t wait to see you there!🙌🏼😍❤️

These two colors are one of my favorite color comb

These two colors are one of my favorite color combos. I thought I’d be sick of pink and blue after doing an entire series only using alizarin crimson, pthalo blue, white, black, and pthalo green. But when I looked up to see where all that buzzing was coming from, I saw this and I fell in love again.
What’s a color combo that you never get sick of?

I finally finished this piece! Lava Canyon Falls,

I finally finished this piece! Lava Canyon Falls, WA—one of my favorite hikes.
It took me a while to get this piece done. I usually don’t work this big when I paint with watercolor/gouache... this piece is 12x16, and I usually work at around 8x10 or smaller. Filling the space was more difficult than I anticipated.
Another reason this took me a while was because I was having trouble showing depth. For those who don’t know, this is done mainly with atmospheric perspective, which is just a fancy term for things getting smaller and less defined, usually bluer in hue, and having lower contrast as they get further away from the viewer. It gives the illusion of distance. For some reason I had trouble portraying that with this piece. I worked through the bugs though, and while it still isn’t one of my favorite pieces, I’m still happy with how it turned out. Every painting comes with a new lesson! This one was realizing that every piece I make needs the piece that came before it. If I didn’t make this one, my next one wouldn’t be what it’s going to be. Im excited to see what the next lesson is. (Also maybe dreading it a little)

Outlet falls, Washington. I’ve never been there,

Outlet falls, Washington. I’ve never been there, but I definitely want to go! This piece was kind of a new process for me in three ways. First was that I started the painting in watercolor, and then finished it with gouache. This was the first time I combined the two media, and I really like how they look together. Second, I used a lot more water than I usually do when I paint with wet media (I found a spray bottle 😅) . And third, I painted a lot of it vertically! Usually when painting with water based media I paint it laying flat so that it doesn’t run, but this time I wanted to see how I could use the running to my advantage! I had so much fun with this piece.
Have you ever been to outlet falls? How is it?
If you haven’t been, what’s a one of your favorite waterfalls to visit?

Every time I use gouache I love it more. The layering, textures, and colors that I can get with it are all very exciting. I can’t wait to keep exploring this new medium 😍😍😍
For those who don’t know, when I paint I usually work in either oils or watercolor. And for some reason I can’t stand painting with acrylic 😅😂

I tried Gouache! It’s so fun. It’s like watercolor, but I can layer more like I can with oils 😍. Love it. Have you ever tried gouache? What did you think of it?
