My view as soon as I log off from work. ♥️

This silly little nugget is always full of smarts and giggles. I can’t get enough! ♥️♥️♥️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B6R0SRQnDpi4QXWXZU3_lJSYhUE9NIAPXXQlV40/?igshid=1baisudl5eoc1

Another work in progress... she’s a biggie 5ft x5ft. We are headed to Northern Italy 🇮🇹 in October... so, it’s maybe the landscape that’s inspiring me. I am slapping around oil paints these days instead of acrylic... I love the challenge. The problem is, it takes FOREVER to finish these pieces. Always #learning. . . . . . . . #abstractart #artcollection #abstractpainting #painter #artwork #paintings #artmuseum #artadvisor #oilpainting #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #artistsoninstagram #minneapolis #minneapolisart #minnesotaart #mnartist #edenprairie #landscapeart #expressionism #colorful (at Eden Prairie, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_B8zOnkAa/?igshid=3rsno79xk1a1

💔 Trying to be strong. I know there’s bigger problems in the world... but this is my little world... and he’s my furry king. It feels like my heart is being torn out with a rusty spoon. 💔 My sweet companions cancer came back - this time they say can’t operate. Chemo? ....Radiation....? Do I seriously put him through this? I feel so selfish for potentially opting out. Choosing less days with him for better/quality days. How many days? At a loss. A little a little paralyzed as to what the best course of action is. I just want him to be happy and not in pain. This beautiful creature taught me true love. He’s my steady rock. He’s me and I am him. We’ve been through so much together. Okay, better stop typing - my ugly crying is making it hard to see my words. Feeling thankful I could spend a day walking around the parks and creating arts - just being together. I hope for so many more of these days. ♥️ #mastcell #mastcellsucks (at Eden Prairie, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz0vnGjHL7s/?igshid=1onnr0ltazcqq

Another #WorkInProgress This Big Painting will remain plopped in our kitchen while I go about my other priorities. ...Waiting patiently for me to finish her body, eyes, lighting, fine details and composition of background and probably painting over it in the end. ... Meanwhile, she’ll be watching you eat your dinner... Bon Appétit 💎 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsNM28flOVjTLLSEzYH5-cgEMhyPdzKYb-WnNw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k0m6mqy9afxm

8 YEARS!? Holy McFly! It’s my Workversary. From Bali, Indonesia to SXSW, Vail and Breckenridge, 3 office spaces and ALL the weddings and beautiful babies in between! It's been a crazy ride and I have had the greatest pleasure of meeting and working with some of the most amazing and talented people. I feel thankful to work in an environment that fosters creativity + daily opportunities to grow and learn. I am incredibly proud of the work we are doing here. Here’s to 8 years that went by in a flash 💫 and many more.... Also, here’s a sad/quick attempt to a college of memories over the years. #workanniversary #Intemark #Workversary (at Intemark) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqN4Glwl7hA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ptx3p5k9gl5k
