Two birds, one stone. [Wenatchee photography + design]

Got a really awesome, totally unexpected email today. Our local phonebook company wanted to use one of my photos for the cover of next year's phone book! It was a photo I took last year for my 365 project (a photo everyday for a year.) It served that purpose and now it gets to be published. Bonus! Two birds, so to speak, which is funny because I dreamed this image two nights ago and started this illustration the day before I got the email about the phonebook. I'm not an "everything is a sign" kinda' person, I pretty much think everything is just a coincidence. But I digress...

Like the others, it's available in my printshop.

Trees in whose shade we shall never sit [Wenatchee photography + design]

Been working on this one for awhile. Loved this saying, and knew it was perfect to go with the tree since it also has the word "Shade" in it, which is my daughter's name, and the person I was inspired to do a tree piece for in the first place.

It's up in my printshop, see profile if interested.

Rainbow [Wenatchee photography + design]

Cross your fingers for me, I may or may not have some exciting goings-on in the near future. That's all I can say for now. Don't you hate when people do that?

Also, recently saw a fabulous quote and knew I had to illustrate it. It suits how I feel so perfectly. This is also available in my print shop at many different, and very affordable, sizes. I highly suggest the 18x12, which is the size I designed it. Art this colorful just says it better big. I have been ordering and framing copies of my own stuff lately, the design stuff, and I am loving how cheerful it makes me. Looks fabulous on the wall and this one would be so sweet in a child's bedroom. Such good words of wisdom because so much of who we are is determined by how we handle the situations we find ourselves in. Another thing I would love my daughters to remember.

Have a great weekend!

Remember this [Wenatchee photography + design]

Keeping up with my "Remember this" project. One photo combined with a bit of wisdom/advice that I want to make sure I've said to my daughters. I don't like time to pass too quickly, but I am excited for the year-long completion of this project and the gorgeous book that should result. 52 weeks worth of beauty with a lifetime of love poured into the recipients.

 

 

Happy home [Wenatchee photography + design]

Do you have a happy home? I'm not asking about a clean home, or a well furnished home. But a happy one? I do. It's something that struck me today, out of the blue. More messy than clean, more run-down than new and fancy, but the one thing you are guaranteed to get at our home is laughter. I don't have an exotic life by any means, but I am happy most of the time, most every day. Decided to make a little illustration of a happy house and loved how it turned out so thought I'd offer prints. It's printed on 12"x18" metallic paper and is so happy and cheerful looking!
