Looking back on the art I’ve been making for the past few months I’ve done quite a bit of digital work. I started really delving into Procreate when we went on Vacation earlier this year, and I haven’t stopped exploring the possibilities since. While planning for our vacation in late February and early March of his year I opted to take only my camera and iPad. No knitting, no sketch book, no art supplies. This was the first time I’d ever taken only my iPad, with the intent of creating art while on a vacation. I had a plan to limit my supplies and challenge myself to only using procreate.

There are ways to stay in touch with me by commenting here on the blog or using the contact form. The Facebook page will be coming down at the end of the month and Instagram will follow soon after.
Breaking up is hard to do, but it's honestly a must.
