THANKFUL

One week away from Thanksgiving and the first one with our new little guy - we can’t believe it!
I’m trying to get back into the swing of drawing for these seasonal moments that I love, and building out my collection of theaters. What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than with a bunch of dancing veggies?
We take setting the table very seriously at our house, so I carved out some time to doodle bits and pieces of a Thanksgiving table as well.
All That We’ve Loved…
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has been a treasure trove of inspiration for me, long before I had the chance to step foot into those beautiful stone halls. I have been really lucky to get to visit the museum quite a few times over the past few years, and it’s become one of Jon and my most favorite places - so much so, that it was the inspiration for Jack’s nursery (more on that for another post!)
Last winter, I culled through all sorts of images I had photographed while browsing through the museum, and filled page after page with sketches and doodles, that became a series of paintings - 24 6x6inch paintings on wood panels, that collectively shape a lot of what I find so inspiring about the museum.
I thought I’d finally share them! Enjoy!
Thankful
It all begins with an idea.
Seasonal moments have always meant a lot to me, and now that I have a kid I can’t believe I am able to make all these holiday moments for someone new!
I’ve spent a lot of time in my sketchbook doodling Thanksgiving imagery, and pulled together a theater proscenium that makes me think of the big day. What better way to celebrate than with a cast of dancing veggies?
We take setting the table very seriously, so I had to draw some bowls with heaps of food and plenty of decorations to make the moment special.
What does the holiday look like for you?
