What better way to spend the “Dog Days of Summer” than with your furry bff and expert digging-machine?!
Happy Summer memory making, they may be different than last summer, but that might make them all the more memorable in the years to come! Here’s to making them count!
Trimming the tree with woodland friends. All is calm and all is bright. Merry Christmas, and may “God Bless us, every one”!!
L. M. Montgomery was born this day, November 30th, 1874. So here’s my tribute to the author and her red-haired, free spirited, enthusiastic, optimistic, Anne of Green Gables!
“True friends are always together in spirit.” -Anne of Green Gables
Whoooaa! Hold on there little mice! Oh the joys of miniature sized adventures.
“Batter Up”
I probably would watch sports if it looked anything like this…
Here’s to a new year, and to those near and dear, who help us reach our aspirations, goals and dreams!
Happy Twenty Nineteen, everyone!
Kindness & Cocoa
This thoughtful little boy is offering a friendly snowman a cup of kindness in the form of hot chocolate. And the snowman is almost considering it, even though it may come with some consequences... it IS hot chocolate after all! And you can hardly refuse such a sweet face.
The Pumpkin Patch
We’re officially rolling out of November into a new month, a colder, whiter one, but still just as lovely. Why hello there, December!
Happy Together // Commissioned Work:
I had the most fun depicting this sweet gal & her beau as their favorite animal: The Collie.
(A fun note: That lovely Lassie (sorry couldn’t help myself!) is wearing a designer dress from the most adorable fashion line of prairie dresses by Batsheva Hay recently featured in Vogue, The Guardian & The New Yorker)
Also here are their two donkey friends, Frances & Damascus. They most certainly are, Happy Together!
Learning Curves
Generational Learning at its finest, with a Grandfather teaching his Grandson something old and then in turn the grandson teaches his Grandfather something new!
You’re never too old or too young for learning!
Ice Cream Social
The fun keeps rolling when an elephant on a bicycle is serving up your favorite sweet treat!
It's hard to stay afloat after so many snacks and tropical punches (he's Bearly Floating as it is!) But this bear is doing it, and making a big splash into the holiday weekend!
He hopes you're enjoying the last bits of summer too!
"The Afternoon Safari"
A girl and her dog spending the afternoon in a safari hunt. With a little imagination, the houseplants become a jungle, and the family cat has no idea what he's in for.

She may have lost them in the past, but this Little Bo Peep is full of gumption and confidence, and sure of herself; she's keeping a close eye on her flock. Friends stick together after all.
Bobby Brock watercolor on paper
This is Bobby Brock. He's a shy young badger, but he's also a wonderful friend, and he loves to cloud-paint.
Fun & Games watercolor on paper
Croquet is so much more fun when a hedgehog friends decides to come along for the ride and join in. It is all fun and games afterall.
