Back to Work

Beetles Weevils & Flies No. 16

Rusty Wing Hummingbird

It feels good to get back to work, dip my brush back into paint and finish a few watercolors.

I have so many ideas for this new year and can't wait to share them with you.

Have a great weekend all!

A Winter Walk

A winter walk. Baby, it's cold outside. Everything is frozen and grey.

I've been listening to A Very She & Him Christmas. It is, after all, still Christmas.

Regardless of these icy cold days, new ideas are starting to thaw for this new year ahead.

This is what January is all about.

Happy New Year!

Cowboy and Birdie wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Sweet Buttery Goodness

Speculaas 

I've been baking all week and wanted to share a few cookies and recipes with you! 

I love a good spice cookie. Not too Sweet. Just right.

The most beautiful springerle cookie molds can be found at House on the Hill.

Pistachio Cranberry Ice Box Cookies

They are little bite size biscotti. Delicious. So easy to make too.

Basic Butter Cookies

Simple, sweet, buttery goodness. Need I say more?

Drizzle with a little chocolate and voila!

Wishing you all the happiest of holidays!

Merry Christmas!

Baby Birds

Slate throated Redstarts

The little darlings are finally finished!

It is so warm and mild today. The air is wet and foggy.

It's a good day to hunker down and paint, I think.

How is your Monday treating you?

Black Trumpets

Morels

It has been a busy week and I can't believe it is Thursday already! Tis the season.

I'm so glad to be back here today with something to share.

My Slate Throated Redstarts will make their debut soon. I promise. 

Until then, enjoy these two new prints which are available in my Etsy shop tonight.

I'd love to forage with someone who truly knows mushrooms.

Wouldn't you?
