Adding a splash of color to the waterfall on my illustrated map of Blackwater Falls State Park! . .
.
Fun fact! Until about two years ago, I ALWAYS drew out my illustrations with a Micron pen and then went over it with watercolor (like I’m doing in this map piece). But one day I realized that I was only doing that because I hadn’t yet developed my watercolor skills enough to make my work look good without the help of the pen. Using pen and ink was serving as a crutch... so I said adios to the pen for almost two full years and assigned myself the mission of mastering watercolors!
.
And now that I finally feel like I am able to achieve the results that I was looking for with watercolors, I’m letting myself go back to incorporating pen & ink into my work again. And it’s so much fun!
.
If you have an artistic crutch that you’re relying on because you know that it will just get you good results without too much effort, I encourage you to step away from it a bit. Happy growing!

Also.... obsessed with my new palette of handmade watercolors by @hushwingwatercolors !
Good morning friends.
Our little town is waking up and readying for the weekend. Here on the mountain we will have plenty of #mountainbiking and #whitewaterrafting for you.
What are your plans?

Lindy Point, minutes from the Inn and a must see when you are here.
The good news is this is an easy walk, and I say that as someone who carries an asthma puffer at all times. You park right at the entrance and it’s a pretty flat, well maintained trail to the view ~ 1/2 a mile.
You should see this place during autumn #brightmorninginn #Appalachia #canaanvalley #daviswv #blackwaterfalls #hiking #summer #nature #wv #landscapes #wvtourism #almostheaven
It’s Friday. Don’t forget to tag a summit this weekend ✌️

This might be my favorite seat at the Inn.
Right now we serve breakfast 5 mornings a week, to Inn guests and the public.
Soon, though, lunch at our new cafe..... Imagine this spot, a panini and you.
Watch this space.
