Focusing on being looser in my paintings. This duo was found in my yard and I had to capture them. I did a quick ink sketch first and then added the watercolor wash. Creating them made me happy. What did you create today?

You know you’re loved when you get beignets brought to you straight from NOLA. My wife is awesome! (There were 2 in the bag… IYKYK) 😂 Can’t blame her. by @awgdesigns

Today is World Mental Health Day and I’m reflecting in these early morning hours. Fall shows us that there is a season to shed, to let go so that you can take time to rest. The autumn leaves display various colors, shapes and timelines. Some leaves display beautiful, vibrant colors and hang onto their branches in a defiant show of glory. Some wither and crumple, easily falling to the earth. There is no right way to shed, to rest. There is only your way. So on this day honoring mental health, which is the reason I came to my art practice, I am choosing to listen to how I need to rest and what I need to shed. Some days I feel like the crumpled dead leaf barely hanging on. Other days I’m the multicolored, “confused” one who dances in the gentle autumn breeze. But I need to allow myself to show up as I am and honor that.

Remember you deserve rest. You’re allowed to be as you are. You can shed what no longer serves you. But, most importantly, find your supporters, your cheerleaders, your anchors. Surround yourself with love and light because you deserve it- even when you don’t feel like you do.

Stopped into @brackenmountainbakery today to satisfy my obsession- the mocha swirl roll with chocolate coffee icing. I MAY have gotten more than one… It was delicious, as usual. by @awgdesigns

What an incredible evening my wife and I had at @cotebrevard with @nikkitalleymusic. Beautiful night of heartfelt music in a welcoming space surrounded by powerful art. We even won a gorgeous drum in a raffle!!! There’s lots of drumming and meditating in my future! Thanks to all for a lovely night! by @awgdesigns

Yesterday going to Sassafrass Mountain inspired me. Now when I look at it I can relive the magic of our adventure. by @awgdesigns

I didn’t paint today because my wife took me on an adventure. Just a short distance from our house is a place we had never visited. 360 views and a perfect day. We are truly lucky to live here. And we stood in two states at the same time while looking at a third! by @awgdesigns
