Choosing a color for your Watercolor City Blocks Map is the fun part, I think. Close your eyes and conjure the memories you have here, with the people you love, the scenery that stirs your soul, the buildings and places that signify important events and daily grinds, the flora and fauna, the air.... Not to overwhelm you! Ha! This Map of Portland will conjure those things I think, in the color the client chose that reminds her of the city in winter, muted greens, blues and greys. . . . #turnofthecenturies #myhandsmaking #mapart #byhand #map #watercolormap #drawnbyhand #portland #portlandia #portlandmap #portlandor #portlandoregon #portlandwinter #watercolor #carveouttimeforart #doitfortheprocess #bycommission #byhand #oregon (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4e93lgO3u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1buxqpb2n2d4n

I’m prepping for a POP-UP Shop in SEATTLE at West Elm, South Lake Union this Saturday Nov 18 with @happyfoxstudiojewelry. Hope to see YOU there! . All of my Seattle Map prints are blue and green, colors most Seattlites are quite fond of 🏉 but here is a new version in black-and-white for the purists.🔲 .

Done! Star marks the spot of the client's office building. This is a "housewarming gift" to himself upon his new purchase of the building which will also house his chiropractic clinic. My grandpa was a chiropractor and my uncles and cousin carry on the tradition so I was all pleased to work with this client and delighted to have this original, meaningful art map hang in his offices. Thanks, Chuck! . . . #citymap #doitfortheprocess #carveouttimeforart #watercolor #watercolormap #neworleans #cylcollective #nola #neworleansmap #bycommission #turnofthecenturies #green #star #marksthespot

New Orleans Watercolor City Blocks Map by commission. A star marks the client's building in the city and his business logo appears below the map, with star. I normally only include a title (the city name) on prints but the client requested it and we changed the standard 16 x 16 format to 16 x 20 to add NEW ORLEANS and his business logo. . . . #citymap #doitfortheprocess #carveouttimeforart #watercolor #watercolormap #neworleans #cylcollective #nola #neworleansmap #bycommission #turnofthecenturies #green #star #marksthespot

I had to skip out on the farmers market for this, but I am alone (well, we are alone👶🏼👱🏻‍♀️), in a house surrounded by the tall forest, it is cloudy and cool, and I got to paint a few squares... . . . #myhandsmaking #doitfortheprocess #carveouttimeforart #watercolor #watercolormap #neworleans #cylcollective #nola #neworleansmap #bycommission #turnofthecenturies #green #wahm
