I’ve painted this one little piece of bark so many times I feel like I know it quite intimately, and I just can’t get enough.

Progress is slow, but this piece has been a constant source of pleasure when so much about this year has been...ugly. Dreaming about a day where I can spend the whole day holed up painting, but until then, I am just chipping away, one jewel at a time. . . . #painting #paintingjewelry #archeswatercolorpaper #jewelryofinstagram #paintingdetails #holdingittogether #paintingmetallics #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorartist #watercolordaily #paintingoftheday #paintingprocess #doitfortheprocess #paintinginprogress #wip #workinprogress #paintersofinstagram #artistmother #artistmotherco #artistteacher #teachingartist #arted #arteducation #artteachersofinstagram #artteachersofig #artteacherlife #gansaitambi #gansai48 #princetonbrushes @kuretakejapan @kuretakezig_usa @archespapers @princetonbrush
The sunshine on Saturday was delightful and so was that Bills win.

It’s been a while since I’ve painted seaglass and pottery shards, I’ve been taking a break since I completed the Zodiac pieces in March, but I’ve been painting jewelry, bark, and still painting doll heads over here. Here is a little throw back to a couple years ago called ‘Golden Age’ and was a reference to my parents and their three grandkids... well now they have four (my sister had a baby in August), so I might need to make an updated version! Happy Wednesday to you all. . . . #washedashorecollection #washedashore #beachcombing #seaglass #seapottery #foundonthebeach #lostandfound #grandparents #gansai48 #tinydetails #wip #workingprogress #watercolor #watercolortribe #watercolor_daily #dailypainter #artteachersofinstagram #artteachersofig #artteacher #artistmother #artistteacher #naptimehustle #rochester #rochesternyartist #roctheart #rocartist #rochesterartscene #roc #gansaitambi #gansaitambiwatercolvhnbor @princetonbrush @arches.art @kuretakejap
This piece, ‘Outside Chen Garden’ was juried into the Lakeside Statewide Exhibition in March, which was essentially cancelled due to Covid (I don’t know if it ever even made it on a wall), BUT it is currently hanging in the Rochester Contemporary Art Center’s Members Exhibition from December 4th through January 9th. Excited to check out the show in the coming weeks as it always includes so many local artists who are so incredibly talented. @roco137 . . . . #contemporaryart #contemporarywatercolour #rochesterny #rochesternyartist #roctheart #rochester #roc #585 #watercolorartist #watercolorpainting #watercolorart #watercolorartist #gansaitambi #kuretakegansaitambi #kuretake #princetonbrushes #paintingaday #originalart #rocomembershow #rochestercontemporaryartcenter #covidartmuseum #chengardenrochester #artistmother #artistteacher #artistmotherco #painteveryday

‘I Hope You’re Okay’ Watercolor on paper. 8x8” 2020 . . This year has been a struggle, and although this painting was originally made as a message to my students, as time has gone on, it’s really for everyone involved in education. If you haven’t checked in on your teacher friends, please do it- we can do hard things but we can’t do everything. . . . Excited to have this piece selected for Small Works 2020 at Main Street Arts in Clifton Springs, NY. @mainstreetarts The show runs from Nov 7th-Dec 4th 2020.
Had a chance to breathe in a lot of fresh air this weekend and am going into this week as a gift to myself. The kids are heading back to daycare part-time after being home since March, and I am going to give myself the week to think minimally about the upcoming school year since it has been a focus most of the summer. Hoping to get a lot of painting, thrifting, and house projects completed. Hope everyone is hanging in there. Here is a piece from April, ‘Quarantine Walk no.1’. . . . #quarantine #quarantinewalk #wearamask #covid19 #socialdistancing #paintingoftheday #paintingnature #naturesbeauty #bark #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorartist #watercolordaily #gansai48 #princetonbrushes #kuretakegansaitambi #archeswatercolorpaper #archespaper #paintingdetail #paintinginquarantine #quarantineartclub #watercolorrealism #realism #rochesternyartist #naptimehustle #artistmother #arteducation #arted #artistteacher #artteacherlife @kuretakejapan @kuretakezig_usa @princeton
I’ve painted this little face so many times, but each time I learn a little more about her.
