when the twinterns are away, the parents will play

Max and Miles went to stay with their grandparents this past weekend so Edgar and I could spend some time in the studio emptying the reservoir of ideas that have been filling our minds as of late. Here's a little glimpse into our process.

:: trying out our favorite 'old' tools for new purposes ::

:: revisiting 'first year' with trace paper and chartpaks ::

:: inspired by the purple phlox that covers the ground in spring ::

:: painting fueled by sweet tea and some good ol' Reba McEntire classics ::

:: determined to find an answer to sad and dull sympathy cards ::

:: a new approach to an old print ::

:: how to paint a 'cardinal that isn't a cliché' study ::

:: marking-down many of our golden oldies to make room for the new products ::



:: stumbled upon a photo of the #twinterns 'triplet' in an old photo album ::

:: miss my boys...isn't it time for them to come home? ::
