‘Just Let Me Read’ (Otter edition)

Continuing my current series - this original watercolour has already found its home, but I will have more originals from the ‘Just Let Me Read’ series available for my next shop update in June (date TBA)

P.S. This piece will definitely be available as a print in the near future! <3

Mister Stonewhispers had a pet rock;

It would would teach him spells and secrets.

But in those rare cases when they didn’t work,

He would throw his rock in madness.

- original poem by Lily Seika Jones

Pictured below is my handpainted watercolour coaster for the upcoming 10th annual SALUT! coaster show being held by Nucleus Portland Gallery.

Work will only be available for purchase in-person at the opening reception on June 8th, and anything not sold will be listed on their website the next day. Visit their event page for more details:

Tea Towels are coming back!! I will be working with local printshop @thehiveprinting again and offering pre-orders for two designs this time.

However due to the possibility of another Canada Post strike I am keeping the shop closed for now until I know more details, and once I do I will set a date and time for the Pre-Order and my next shop restock, so stay tuned!

Thank you everyone for your patience and support!!

‘keeping watch amongst the apple blossoms’

I began this as a colour study which is why it looks a bit looser than my usual stuff, but I ended up liking it more than any finished work that might’ve followed so I’ll be listing this along with some other new small works in my next shop update on May 15th

- watercolour and sepia coloured pencil.

I think I am going to call this series “Just Let Me Read”. This original watercolour painting will be listed in my Etsy shop for my next restock, I have not yet chosen a date but it will be no later than the beginning of May <3
