The June Round-up: July, and Summer is in Full Swing.
Monthly Round-up #13 | June 2025 - Welcoming July
The Monthly Round-Up is where I share an overview of the past month and highlight any projects, happenings, art life, and life in general that I think will be of interest. I enjoy and share the season, weather, and cultural changes of each month. At the end I’ll share with you what’s coming up in the new month.
June was busy, to say the least. I had time for sketchbooks, but not a lot of paintings or video making. I remodeled a bathroom’s walls from old wallpaper from previous owners to a beautiful color of paint. Enough said about just how busy I was! If you know, you know.
As well as the new Discord group server that I launched not too long ago, I have just launched a new Facebook group in June for creativity and art. I hope you check them out and join. Let’s get a great community going! Both are called ‘This Art Life’.
For July, I’m doing my second World Watercolor Month. I’m excited for it. The prompts look pretty interesting this year. I did a sketchbook tour last year on it, here’s the short video.
I posted some videos on YouTube in June that may interest you:
