Cougar Country

Shonn and I traveled to Lake Cuyamaca this weekend. We had a blast and it was great to get out of the city for awhile. We felt like we were in a Twin Peaks movie. These are some photos from the day and the sketch I did while we were sitting by the lake.

That was delicious apple cider.

Never turn your back on a cougar!

Ivy progress

Today I spent the day in the studio working on detailing the ivy. 

As I was riding my bike home I started to see ivy crawling everywhere. 

Two pieces currently on my easel

 I have been obsessed with painting ivy lately. When I was back in Pennsylvania last September, I noticed the ivy overtaking a lot of man made things. I couldn't help but be inspired by what nature does if let go. It is quite beautiful.  These are two of my works in progress for a series I am working on.
