I believe in careful planning and prep work for any painting. Here’s some of my process steps for my Alanna piece: Thumbnail, Digital Value Sketch, Oil Color Study, and finished Oil Painting #tamorapierce #middlegradeart #bookcoverart #Womenartist
Last year I heard a news story about a girl in Sweden who found a 1500 year old sword in a lake. Clearly the Lady of the Lake had deemed this girl worthy to be the next Queen. "Lady of the Lake", 12" x 18.5", oils on panel #kidlitart #womensart #bookcoverart #kingarthur
Got some pastels going on my palette today. #wip #process #oilpainting #pastelcolors

Tried @altonbrown choc chip cookie recipe for the first time and they’re super delicious! Nice thick soft cookies. #weeklywabisabi #189 #foodart #chocolatechipcookies
Mmmm, oiling out a painting is often times the most satisfying part. All those colors that have flattened out get their shine again #process #wip #oilpainting
The best part about snow storms is I feel the compulsion to bake. My go to recipe is Nestle chocolate chips cookies. #weeklywabisabi #185 #oilpainting #foodart #nestlechocolate
Dreaming of snow and all the hot chocolate I will drink. #weeklywabisabi #180 #christmascookies #snowman #foodart
