WELCOME to 2020!

It’s been a while - but life continues in Maine. Not without struggles and property tax increases that make selling cards - a fairly distant dream. But I have had the pleasure of being on the water last summer with H2Outfitters in Harpswell and I am currently a Seasonal Sales Associate at Patagonia in Freeport. Still working on Climate Change activism - still dreaming about using my illustrations to help the global effort to make climate change a priority. Still looking at opportunities in Maine…ahhh,life.

Ahhh...Maine in winter.

Still bleak. But the muted colors provide a backdrop for inspiration. Need to draw some new illustrations and start thinking about 2018 Holiday cards...so that I can have them ready by the time early summer comes around. This long grey winter still makes me think of Dad...I wonder what it was like in 1921..or 1939.

Funny to think that Dad walked these same rocks as Beckett and I do....

Inspiration Today.

Snow is slowly melting and the temperatures are starting to get a tad warmer. Spring is in the air. And I've been thinking alot about my Father lately. He passed into that next place almost 2 years ago - and I still miss him every day. Miss the joy and the support and all of it. I am really blessed to have had him in my life for as long as it was...but it just wasn't long enough.

I would tell him today - that I continue to be bewildered and somewhat puzzled with my romantic meanderings. I would tell him about Beckett and how she is the best dog ever. And I would make him laugh about how COLD it is...and i would say something witty about falling on my butt on the ice.
