    Well, the first painting of the year turned out to be kind of bootyful. (Sorry, couldn’t resist a bum pun.)  Prints are over at goldfishkissgoods.com

    Here’s the latest from my desk. This one’s called Some Wave Under The Rainbow. High five for puns. Might need to make that title into a tee shirt too.  Anyways, story behind the painting time:

    November 7, 2017December 12, 2018

    Here’s the latest from my studio (aka my extremely messy yet conveniently colorful desk in our guest bedroom): An outfit I’d love to rock, and the location and activity where I’d prefer to rock it. Because,

  • I just really like zoning out

    October 24, 2017December 12, 2018

    I just really like zoning out for a few minutes, painting boards, drawing patterns and bleeding colors together. And fins. Fins are fun. Art is fun. It all should be fun. These are fun. Fun

    September 22, 2017December 12, 2018

    I painted this one last week, I went a little crazy on the flowers, I named it “Freckle Face”, and it also taught me a big lesson in motherhood… I am not the tidiest person.

  • The Painting and The Pic

    August 22, 2017December 12, 2018

    It’s pretty sweet when a simple pic I take inspires me to paint. Maybe it’s the lighting, messy hair, or flowers. Whatever it is, I love it when an image causes a butterfly to start

    July 21, 2017December 12, 2018

    Let’s just say I’m having some fun in one of life’s greatest therapies lately – putting a brush loaded with some gloriously vivid paint on some thick and juicy paper.  I’m doing my best to

  • One of my absolute favorite places

    June 16, 2017December 12, 2018

    One of my absolute favorite places on the planet is the art supply store. The smells, colors, papers and brushes all bring back memories. It also instantaneously gives my brain creative butterflies. I went the

    May 25, 2017December 12, 2018

    Wouldn’t it be cool if you earned frequent flier miles to a place whenever you painted it? I’d be a tropical landscape painting machine. …anywho, I miss my paints, and have so many ideas in

    February 14, 2017December 12, 2018

    In case anyone doesn’t get flowers today, here’s some I painted. They might not smell great, but they still are pretty even when you forget to water them. Happy Valentine’s Day. Spread some love. Everyone

    Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up Here’s the last painting I did before I packed up my office…and I haven’t touched a brush since. Feels weird, but the break helped get lots of ideas brewin’ now, too. 🎨🧡 Life’s a beach. Embrace the mess and get the tattoo. #goldfishkissart #watercolor #radart 

“Forever a beach” 8x8 watercolor on paper. It’s in le shop.
    Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. T Well, in life update news, we moved to Michigan. Two days after saying goodbye to Kili, I said bye to beach life, felt like a chapter of life I loved was slammed shut, and all the air and motivation was knocked out of me. Changes like this take time, and the idea of ever being truly settled in is a bit foreign to me. But, you just have to look for the little glimmers in ordinary days (what’s in all these pics), be present, get out and about, and choose joy while also giving those tears permission to flow. Ok, and say hi to every dog I can, while holding onto summer as long as I can, too. But I hear Fall is next level up here. 🧡

So, if you’ve been following me for a while, life’s taken us many places. I feel like I’m part chameleon and part lone wolf by now, and we will see what this new season brings. I have a feeling Lake Michigan and the upper peninsula will be my happy place, so hopefully we’ll make it out there a bunch. Life’s crazy. Wear a helmet and thank goodness for Facebook marketplace. And that I didn’t give away all my cold weather gear.
    Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged Well, I had to say goodbye to my best four-legged friend, then to life at the beach in a matter of a few days. Life’s been heavy, full of random ugly cries, a bit of a blur, and my brain fog is at capacity, all while having one too many tabs open, too.

But I did manage to scribble down some journal thoughts before the move, and wanted to share. I love these things.

I’ll post a bunch of final beach pics and about life in our new location soon. But for now, I’m just taking it one day at a time.

Or in this case, page. Hope they’re somewhat legible. 🌊❤️‍🩹🖊️ #goldfishkisswriting #thoughts
    How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides How do you sum up an incredible life in few slides and words…I can’t. This loss is such a deep hurt, and the love is so pure. Kili pup, I miss you, and my heart is so damn heavy. Run wild, run free, soak up the sun, steal all the pizza, and find all the sticks and tennis balls, my best four legged friend. ❤️‍🩹🐾
