{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

check it out! some etsy treasuries that included my work (thank you!): pastels colors
painting sticks in the basement is my new favorite thing to do:
this project was so freeing - neatness not required. only colors ideas. and i have none of the first, and an abundance of the second.
the desk floaters:
there's something about these pieces (unfinished and finished) that still hold something for me, and i'm trying to figure out what that is.
inspiration:
this is a desk floater also. i just can't resist looking at it.
sketchbook project:
my book for the sketchbook tour is due in january, and i'm on my way to finishing it this year. i'm trying different techniques in the book, trying to let it be whatever comes to mind, versus having it be a planned story. it reminds me of the sketchbooks i had to do as homework for high school art classes. not much about representation, and more about intuition- putting down whatever your mind is designing, without questioning. it's a good exercise. even if that looks like a 5 year old did it ... don't judge. it'll mean something someday. maybe.
an ink day:
there are so many directions. i know. and it doesn't have to all come together, but i always want it to, don't you? here's a block printing moment from last week.
my favorite (moment) is revealing what i've carved by rolling the ink over it. it's always kind of a surprise.

working on some new pieces, but they're going a little slower than usual. i'll show you soon.
i always wish i could hone in on one thing, and then work on it nice and slowly, enjoying each moment. but i'm always rushing around while working- getting every idea out that is running through my brain. it's exhausting! it's not always a bad thing, you just have to know how to let it be fast when it's fast, and slow when it's slow. it's always in there.
in other news we went and found ... "the gregoire family christmas tree". at tonry tree farm, the dozens of different types of trees are sprawled out across many fields. the vastness and variety of the farm made us so excited, as did the people in the parking lot who were tailgating with their friends + families. definitely an idea to snag. we felt like little kids. we talked about picking out trees with our dads and siblings, decorating them with our moms. and lots of chevy chase quotes. jay even shouted one to a fellow man-foregoing-sled-to-carry-tree-on-shoulders. we thought about our non-existent little kids, and how this is a tradition that they may hate us for when they're teenagers, a tradition that we just started together this weekend, but hopefully someday when they come back around to having real thoughts about life and forgive us for being cheesy and lame, they remember that this is awesome.
