A Daily Dose of Vitamin See (and Where to Get More)
Vitamin See: The Creative Nutrient You Didn’t Know You Needed Dear Reader, Yesterday, my morning walk took longer than usual—not because I was going farther, but because I was seeing more. The early light was especially beautiful, casting long shadows and golden glows on the simplest things: a weathered fence post, dew on the grass, the edges of leaves. I kept pausing, letting my eyes linger. Letting myself notice. That’s when I realized—I was taking my daily dose of Vitamin See. This isn’t a pill or a supplement. It’s the practice of truly observing the world around you. As artists, it’s where everything begins. When I tune into this kind of mindful seeing, I ask myself: If you're longing for more of that connection, I have several upcoming classes and retreats designed to help you slow down, observe, and really see. June's Monthly Mini-CourseFrom Market to Masterpiece: Painting Red and Gold Onions 🌿 Snake River Meadow Retreat – Idaho | August 22–25A meditative, plein air watercolor retreat where we’ll breathe, brush, and be present. We’ll paint outdoors, connect with nature, and return to our creative roots. 🌍 Zimbabwe Watercolor Safari | November 17–24 Each of these experiences is built around the spirit of Vitamin See: the idea that creativity begins when we slow down and truly notice the world around us. Whether you're joining me online or somewhere across the globe, I hope you'll give yourself the gift of seeing deeply and creating freely. With love and gratitude, |
