Hello from the Toymaker

Happy February!

And how are you, my friend? Doing well I hope. Things here are busy every day.

I'm slowly making progress on decluttering my mom's garage. She just turned 93 last month and, as you might imagine, there are decades of boxes left to be sorted. Inch by inch, everything's a cinch.

I've also been trying to get out in nature more as well as paint everyday. I'm fond of combining habits so here are some watercolor sketches of walks on the beach.

Wintertime is my favorite time to walk on the beach. It's not too crowded, just lots of seabirds and fresh air.

If you are interested in painting and art tips, check out my Patreon page.
