I can’t help it. Mini painting! So much fun trying out this 4” x 4” Aquabord! Perfect for drawing with pen then layering and lifting watercolor. Pics from walking Bear yesterday evening. 🌸🪻🍃🌺 #spillstudioart #highlandparkseattl
A scene from my walk through Volunteer Park last week. I really wanted to paint something a little bigger than usual. Found this gesso block in my studio. Not so great for watercolor, but I made it work. Added a tiny bit of gouache and acrylic. I hav

I didn’t get the tree up, or any decorations out this weekend, but I did make this best-ever apple cranberry crisp and get out my Christmas mug (oh, and set out those cute little birds by @dianekappa!).
My mom and I were loving these strawberry trees on our Alki walk yesterday! Thankfully, she carried a couple big handfuls of them for an hour as we walked so I could draw them later at home. 🥰 I didn’t feel like painting—so this little k

So excited to use my art to brighten up Broadway! I had no idea this painting from almost a year ago would come in handy for some new signs at All Pilgrims! I hope this art helps communicate the openness of a community where LGBTQIA+ people are fully

Just 2 of the many fall leaves I’ve picked up on my walks with Bear. These ones were so big! I wanted to avoid it, but I made myself draw my hand—so hard! But, I think worth the extra time, even if it’s not perfect. 😌 • •
Mary cooking (with Angela and kids looking on) for the big celebration under the tree in Mbuyuni, Tanzania. Painting from my photos is a great way to remember moments and people from my trip with the World Vision team in July. I hope to do more as I
I thought about @espressovivace for 6 hours this morning! I kept thinking about the Cafe Nico, but instead tried the vanilla sweet cream cold brew for the first time. This has to be my new favorite iced coffee in Seattle. I drew this at a little tabl
Thank you, @hannahmae.cox for letting me paint you this evening! (Sorry if I made you look 10 years older than you are!). Been completely unmotivated to do art lately, so I’m glad I made a point to do a little something today. 💖
Mini bouquet from Nehalem Bay State Park walk. 🌊🍃🌼🩷 #spillstudioart (I want to do some paintings from my trip to Tanzania, but they will take a while to get together! Haven’t been painting lately, so some little easy flowers in the meantime
Last week I was in Tanzania helping out with a video shoot for @worldvisionusa, and squeezed in some art time with Faith at her home while the rest of the team interviewed her parents, Grace and Pastor Raymond. Yay! Sketching and painting on location
Home now after a week with an incredible team in Tanzania! I am smiling so big because of all the people I got to meet and spend time with. So warm and welcoming. So much of God’s love. And because the curtain matches my T-shirt! Thanks to Jon
I put these little macarons on a tiny plate then realized (with much delight!) they matched the painting I just did (to go with the printed 💌). Love these colors. They also match the lovely spring day today! 🌸💮🌼 #spillstudioart
