I really enjoyed creating during the holiday season! It was fun to share art with everyone amidst the busy hustle bustle this time of year. I just wanted to share my completed book with you – I think I will put it out every year for my family to flip through. Who knows, maybe this will become an annual event!

Tiny Sketches
Reminiscing over Italy and enjoying a new tiny sketchbook from Sugarboo & Co. Love the size and rough rag paper. Perfect for when you just have a “small” amount of time! What are you working on these days?
Orvieto, Italy – Part Two
I spent 10 days total in Orvieto; one week at the Adventures in Italy art retreat and 3 days on my own. Although I could write an entire book about this trip, I will try to sum it up with a highlight reel . . . Everywhere I turned was a sketching opportunity and I painted dozens of pictures while …
Orvieto, Italy – Part One
Departing from the Termini Train Station in Rome, I arrived an hour ahead of time to scope out the situation and “learn the ropes.” This was my first train trip in Europe and being alone, I was a little apprehensive. The station was deserted the first 50 minutes, then rapidly filled up as I discovered that in Italy, the platform …
Rome, Italy
There is something exciting, yet very surreal about falling asleep in one country and waking in another! I left Orlando late evening, sketchbook in hand, and woke as we landed in Frankfurt. Typically extremely efficient and known as a great airport for ease of connections, I had a very tight and stressful 40 minutes to catch my flight to Rome. …
Bath, UK

The Cotswolds, UK
We left North Cadbury just after breakfast and drove slowly through the Cotswolds admiring each little town and narrow road. Our goal that day was to find a local Pub to have our lunch! We heard that on Sundays, the neighborhood pubs serve up a “carvery” or “proper Sunday roast” for their local clientele. We passed pub after pub, town …

Who doesn’t want to fly off to the UK for a country wedding in the Costwolds?

And since we were going all that way, we might as well spend a few days in London as well, right?! …
