Inspiration

You guessed it — my inspiration lately is totally Oaxaca, Mexico. Most especially the woodblock print posters you see plastered around like the beautiful pieces here.

I left Oaxaca in November with a complete yearning to sketch in B&W and one of the first things I did when I got home was purchase some linoleum blocks so I could transform my sketches into prints. (I shared a peek at those sketches RIGHT HERE!)

When it comes to a color palette, I’ll admit it — I have a split personality.

For as long as I can remember I have always flip flopped between a squeezed-straight-from-the-paint-tube juicy bold color palette to a much more *moody* one. (And you got to say *moody* as if you’re half drunk.)

There’s never an exact cut off point or even fair warning when I start meandering from one palette to the other…it’s more like a tug or a soft nudge from my soul that it’s simply time.
