I've been a busy bee, despite this blog being silent. I took a trip to see my father for a few months at the end of last year and saw some fantastic islands while I was away. But, that post is for another day.

Lately, I've had the urge to play with watercolors and it's been entirely too much fun! I got myself one of those Moleskine planners at the beginning of the year. Despite its thin pages, it handles watercolor well enough, only ghosting slightly on the back of the page. It does wrinkle, but I've gotten used to it and consider it part of the charm of working in this book.

Some paintings in the planner:

There are more, but that means I have to haul the scanner out again. Which I will - after I get a few more paintings done. It's so much fun to be surrounded in paint again!
