What have we done this week? I've painted a bunch of watercolor artwork. Some Lauae ferns, palm trees with a beach scene. I finished up the sand dollar watercolor artwork that everyone seems to want to see! Here they are:
It's hard sometimes to find the time. I try to wait for Renée, my almost 15 month old baby, to be asleep before I start anything. She loves to touch all the watercolor brushes and get her hands on the paints! One of these days, I'll have to get a huge piece of paper and buy her a set of brushes and paint! But I love the time to just sit down, listen to classical music or have it shuffle and just sink into the painting. It's great to have this invitation shop. As a graphic designer, it was rare to just sit down, draw and paint. I always had to use the computer. My old cd (creative director) always MADE us sit and storyboard. I loved it but it took such a tremendous amount of time.
Just a tid bit about Renée. She figured out her duplo yesterday! That was such an excitement on both her part and my part. It took her months to put 2 pieces together and she'd get soo frustrated! She finally figured it out and what joy!
What are we working on this week? Some bottle invites for Lucy at the Hilton, finishing up Olivia's Letterpress White Waves, finishing up Kelly's Big Palm Leaf, and starting on Kelly 's (another one!) custom orange tiger lily invites and some other jobs that need to get finished and shipped. Andrés is also working on Montel William's and Tara's guestbook! Their wedding is coming up!!
