Holy Moly, it's August already?!?!

2022 Summer Summary So Far!
(aliteration!)

Hot beach days,
quality hangs 
with family and friends,
watermelon eating,
new place visiting in Massachusetts and beyond
and of course,
doing my 
A.MARFS markets
& meeting new peeps!

Life is good.


PLUS, a few weeks ago my comedy buddy/real life bestie, Jonathan Kaplan came to visit for a strictly play-time visit.

Since 2015, the only time Jonathan and I would get together was to work on our web-series 
Mares & Kaps. But since we are currently on a much needed creative hiatus, this time we could just chill.

And by chill, I mean draw, paint, laugh and play

fig 2. The both of us sketching at Sandy Point on Plum Island. Jonathan later plarted.  
Jonathan got into 'plein air' painting (or 'plarting' as I like to call it)  just as I began exploring with my digital tablet in 2021. 
Before the digi tablet...

Before the digi tablet, a Sharpie or a Pilot Precise V5 Rollerball black pen was my favorite instrument for drawing. There's nothing like a sharp pen pulling ink across a dense and textured piece of paper. Yes!

While Jonathan plarted, I sketched my simple landscapes on watercolor paper

All this to say...

I will be offering these new
'A.MARFS Minis!'
landscape drawings at my next shows.

Each drawing is a signed, one of a kindoriginal piece, roughly 2x3 in size and matted on a 4.25 x 5.5 card. 
I will also be sharing a few watercolor
'A.MARFS Water Minis' 
 that are slightly larger in size and also matted.
