My first watercolors EVER. Embarrassing and gross but I guess it is always fun to look back and see progression.

We weren't supposed to spend more than five minutes on each sheet anyways. Is that a good excuse?

Color Me Mine

I have the greatest artsy friends. Even they are crazy enough three hours painting a dish that will probably just end up serving toast

OH boy.

This is my shout out to ALEX.

She is my roommate and the coolest girl/lady. She is so giving and talkative[the good kind. She tells good stories and dumb jokes :) ] and devoted and loving and she LOVES TO LAUGH! Watch any remotley funny movie with her and she will make you come away thinking it was the funniest movie ever! Did I mention she is beautiful!!?!? Believe it Alex you dummy.

This is our version of a fun winter activity.

Recipe for a good hearty laugh.

1.

Put on every scarf you own.

2.

Twirl around imitating a strange bird doing a mating call dance

3.

Then set yourself in a corner where you cannot get up without the help of a crane.

It worked for us. If is doesn't for you, its probably your fault

The three of us were homeless for Thanksgiving weekend but Normandie's mom was kind enough to let us join their family. It was a cozy day with good food. The green beans were delicious and the smell of spiced apple cider filled the house. I love the fall.

Two of my BEAUTIFUL sisters. We look enough alike right? Red head, a blonde and a brunette? Where is Norm?

When I came home for Christmas, I found out that my little brother turned into a stud.

Kelly came over and we made our traditional coveted by everyone chocolate peppermint stick cookie/cake/woopie pies. Can't you just see how happy this makes us?!

The indoor market in my little hippy town. The tomato basil soup and pumpkin bread is the best that I have EVER had. Mom and I get it every time. Except now Im allergic to tomatoes. But we will pretend I still eat it.

I dropped off my childhood best friend off at the MTC. Watch out Japan! Ellie Hansen is on the way!!!!I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS GIRL! She was so thrilled she could barely walk straight! But this is actually how she usually is. haha. Man I love this girl. Two more years until I am off! Wow time flies.

This is momma Hansen. She is completely wonderful and adorable. Kaori her sister was here too. At least we get to be together at school!

Folded and Torn

Our art teacher displayed our class' art in the art building; every artists dream and honor.We had a fun time enjoying the moment!

Art building junkies!! We have two art education/fellow studio artists, two amazing photographers, a Paige with a font obsession, an illistrator/graphic art major and myself. We love running into each other. I think this is what happened here actually.

My heart is full of joy

The time of the year where the leaves crunch and smells are everywhere

As a native to the east coast where the fall air turns crisp and sweet, I had to jump into the first pile of leaves I could find.

This is my element.

Pick me up when the snow falls. Please bring me soup, pumpkin cookies, hot sandwhiches and corn bread and I will be fine.

Enjoying center street together! The only artsy part of town. haha. Look at these girls! Paige has a feather in her hair and Hannah's pants are patched. What more could you ask for in a friend?!

Sweet sweet fall. Can you smell those leaves?! It makes me want to go for a run just thinking about it.

I like the smell of wet newspaper

This is our duck pond.

I have never seen roots like this. And I have seen a lot of roots in my day.

Look at that green moss! Nature is amazing!
