Like standing in a little Monet, but in Canada! 💕

My travel essentials making a home away from home. Absolutely love the ultra portable @expeditionaryart travel palettes. All the colors you would ever need in super packable tiny cases. 🎨 The teensy one is a subset of the @janeblundellart ultimate mixing palette that I’ve started to learn the different mixes. The set with larger pans is the super special handmade Summerly set from @lettersparrow and the one with a mix of half and full pans is my usual trusty travel palette of @danielsmithartistsmaterials and @winsorandnewton paints. I also brought my full size short handle Escoda brushes this time instead of my collapsible travel brushes to test the waters of traveling with slightly larger items. I didn’t love how bulky it was to travel with full-size tools but I did love the benefit of having a home-like setup making it more comfortable on location.

All the flowers, would have very extra special powers. They would sit and talk to me for hours. 🌸 #loosestrife #coneflowers #nature #aliceinwonderland #wildflowers

I was the kid with a shell, random beads, a mini box of Lemon Heads, and a crayon in my pocket. I was also the kid that always had used postage stamps and pressed leaves tucked in my notebooks. Gems as an adult remain the same. 😊 #shells #shells🐚 #shellcollection #shellcollector #shellcollecting🐚 #shellcollecting #elcaminodesantiago #caminodesantiago #caminoportugues

A work in progress with the small but mighty travel kit. #bigfluffyclouds #watercolor #winsorandnewton #danielsmith #winsorandnewtonwatercolors #danielsmithwatercolors #painting #escoda #escodabrushes #travelpalette #nalgene #pleinair #watercolorart #watercolorartist #brooklynartist #hudson #hudsonvalley #hudsonnewyork

Cheers to making it out of mercury retrograde! Could use one of these pretty mint juleps from Fish & Game right about now. Flowers and herbs foraged from the chef’s garden and the food was divine. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in Hudson. @fishandgamehudson #foragedflora #foragedherbs #deliciousmenu #hudsonvalleyeats #mercuryretrograde

Beautiful scenery from the train ride up to Hudson. Using my fresh Letter Sparrow summerly handmade watercolor kit in the perfect travel pocket palette. Unfortunately my tape removal skills were off today. 😅 @lettersparrow @expeditionaryart #painting #watercolor #watercolorsketchbook #upstateny #upstatenewyork #hudsonvalley #hudson #hudsonny #hudsonvalleyny #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolor_art #watercolor_painting #watercolorartist #handmadewatercolors
