Spring time, Sunshine, & Watercolors, a love story.

I love spring. I love the smells, the freshness, the light, the life it brings back. The closeness of summer.  

Today I stood in my kitchen with my shirtless toddler and ate a whole half of a watermelon. It reminded me of camping at the river and cooling the watermelon in the cold river water. Which just reminded me more that warmer weather is coming.

I cannot express to you how much I love warm weather. 

If I have a favorite hobby, it is walking barefoot in fresh grass and basking in sunlight. It makes me inexplicably happy inside. Words don't do it justice. I simply feel alive again.

Springtime brings out a whole new me. I am inspired again, ready to go see what I can do. Take on new projects and shake things up a bit. The sunshine and warm breezes have brought about a change in Freedom Runs. I'm excited to see where they take me. 

I began this journey with an experiment in watercolor pencils. Which by coincidence  seem very springy to me. They're so light and airy and they flow together so nicely. I kind of love them. 

This is still in the sketch phase, but I can't get over this picture. There's something about a colorful wolf, it just speaks to me. 

This painting (drawing? A little of both maybe?) made me so giddy that I decided to do a series of colorful watercolor animals. It's a work in progress and I can't wait to share it with you! 

Expect them soon. Until then I will keep you entertained with my pretty Instagram photography and previous artworks. It will be fun. We'll laugh, we'll cry. There will be popcorn. (at least on my end)

Can't go wrong with a combination like that. 

Until next time, enjoy the sunshine ☀️
