Don't cut yourself on that edge!

Oh my god, I love to hear that :) (Also, you're partially responsible for me trying gouache haha. Love your work!)

Have you purposefully painted both of these Sol Duc Falls paintings in a different style than normal? I love them! (I also love your other work; I've commented on your posts dozens of times at this point lol)

This is so different looking from your usual style, yet I still knew who it was:) Love it!

My non PNW-native husband visited my home with me recently, and he asked me what he could do about the stinging nettle he got on his hands.

I was SO happy to finally use that random piece of knowledge that I haven't used in like seven years hahaha. Ferns really are cool! Especially sword ferns, in my opinion.

TIL! Very cool! Admittedly, I can't recall any trees around my house that have ferns growing in them, so I guess that's why I wasn't aware:)

I grew up in a forest much like the one pictured, about twenty minutes from the coast and the boarder.

I'm kind of confused by this comment, because my home is SURROUNDED by sword ferns. I just googled licorice fern, and while it looks similar, it's not much more similar than any of the other dozens of fern species.

Is it common for people to make this mistake?

This is the most PNW photo to ever exist

This time of year makes me so damn emo. I moved out at 18 and joined the military, and now I can't afford housing in the place I was born :^)
