Let me introduce you to this sweet baby. Our daughter, Mira, was born in mid-June and she is wonderful. 💖 We then spent two weeks in NICU and she’s still on home oxygen but she’s doing quite well. 
The only art I have made since then are those b&w drawings for her to look at. She particularly loves kitty.

Folded cards that I designed with my painting imagery just arrived and I’m really pleased with them! I needed cards to use for thank you’s and had fun the other afternoon arranging scanned images of my art into this layout. @mpixfans is so quick, I ordered these Wednesday and they got here today. Seriously fast. Plus this matte signature paper is nice and thick, and looks right for the watercolor and gouache painting.
So, I better start writing...

I began today’s more muted entry by drawing lines with china marker and colored pencil, then incorporated watercolor layers and gouache for opacity.
