If you have any places you recommend we visit, please let me know! ๐Ÿ’• I look forward to sharing our adventures this spring!!

Geranium watercolor sketch. I don’t feel like the colors are 100% accurate in this scan (the leaves are more cool toned) but it’s close enough…! Made with @holbein_art watercolors and colored pencils.

Another watercolor scan - this time of Angelina Ballerina from “Angelina’s Birthday” by @katharine_holabird ! My oldest daughter loves the Angelina Ballerina books and it’s so fun to read them with her since I enjoyed them when I was little too. I love all the beautiful illustrations by Helen Craig in each story! Illustration is 4x4” and made with @holbein_art watercolors and colored pencils.
The final watercolor snail with geraniums for my daughter, Autumn! 4x6” with @holbein_art paint and colored pencils. The snail is based on a @jellycat toy she likes.
