I'm still here!

Yes, don't worry guys, I AM still here!  And so is this guy...

I haven't decided how much I'm going to share of him (who am I kidding, I'll probably post his face eventually, because it's so darn cute), but for now, here, some baby feet!

I did, in fact, have my son.  But things did not go as planned, as he arrived in August.  "But wait, Whitney," you say, "weren't you due in October?"  Well, yes, I was.  Baby had other plans, apparently! (won't be my WHOLE birth story after the jump, there will be art news, too, I promise...)

The curse of too many opportunities...

Y'all, I am abjectly apologetic about the lack of...stuff I've been putting out.  I know, it's only been a week or so, but it has been CRAY-ZEE.  Here, have a cow:

Cow watercolor in its unfinished state...I finished it last week but haven't had time to snap pics because I've been busy, well, having cows.

Inspired Monday: ink splash!

So today is the day that I hang my show at the Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild...in fact, at the time that this post goes up, I will probably be heading over there to do exactly that!  If you're in the Tucson area, come see it, I'll be up through mid-October there! (And in September, probably changing out some paintings for new ones too)

In honor of that exhibition, here's a watercolor-themed Inspired Monday:

Confessions of a wacky watercolorist

Okay, it's confession time again...I have to admit that I have a somewhat unusual method of watercoloring.  I learned how to watercolor with, y'know, watercolor paints, in tubes, at school, and I like doing that.  But in my freshman year at art school, I discovered these:

And these, my friends?  These are watercolor crayons.  They were life-changing.
