The porch is a great place to read, especially when the book is so gripping that it eclipses the stunning sunset.

Never underestimate the power of a houseplant to give a spark to your day.

Another from my recent beach series. In this one, I strove to capture the feelings of mystery and beauty that being on a beach at night brings. Additionally, I continue to explore the patterns that artificial light makes at night.


It was such a good week in Topsail, NC. Reconnecting with my husband’s family was great, and on top of that, I had a week of beach sketching. I like these two Plein Air sketches better than ‘Jumping Waves’ because the brush strokes and shapes are more decisive and strong.

More sketches from people watching. I hope you can sense this small child’s excitement at jumping the waves.

I was out early, enjoying the quiet of the morning beach. I wanted to capture this feeling in this sketch.

May your light shine ever brighter and illuminate your way, whether you are crossing a beach with your iPhone or the space that leads you to your dreams!
