Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 20, 2026. All rights reserved. A small square of watercolor paper sits at the center, holding an illustration that feels half‑scientific, half‑dreamlike. The shape resembles a microscopic organism or a cross‑section of a living cell, but stylized with your signature softness and precision. At the core, a warm pink pool blooms outward, mottled with tiny circular shapes that look like bubbles or clustered vesicles. Fine ink lines trace around them, giving the center a sense of gentle motion, as if it’s pulsing or breathing. Surrounding that, a pale beige ring forms a soft halo, then transitions into a cool blue outer layer. The colors bleed into one another with that unmistakable watercolor tenderness — edges feathered, gradients smooth, everything feeling organic. Radiating outward, delicate brown ink lines extend like cilia, filaments, or sun rays. They’re thin, intentional, and evenly spaced, giving the whole form a sense of symmetry and quiet energy. Above the artwork lies your Micron 003 archival ink pen, its beige barrel and crisp labeling grounding the scene in the tactile reality of your tools. To the right, a watercolor brush rests near a palette with wells of green and blue paint — the exact hues echoing the artwork’s outer ring. The overall mood is calm, focused, and intimate — a moment of close-up craftsmanship, where scientific curiosity meets artistic tenderness. It feels like a tiny universe you coaxed into being with ink, water, and patience. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 19, 2026. All rights reserved. You’re looking at a small, intimate tabletop scene—an artist’s workspace paused mid‑breath. At the center lies a square piece of watercolor paper. The artwork on it feels playful and deliberate, like a tiny universe contained in a palm. The background is washed in cool blues and purples, soft and cloudy, the pigments blending in that watery way where edges blur rather than snap. Cutting across the square is a single curved red line, almost like a gentle horizon or a ribbon laid across the sky. It arcs from the lower left toward the upper right, dividing the composition into two uneven fields. Inside this little world sit two circular shapes, each with its own personality. One circle is filled with dense black crosshatching, the lines tight and energetic, giving it a textured, almost woven feeling. The other circle is outlined with a striped border—alternating light and dark—and its interior is dotted with small red spots, like seeds or beads scattered in a bowl. Around the artwork, the table becomes a quiet inventory of tools: A black Uni-ball pen rests above the paper, angled casually. A red Uni Posca paint marker lies nearby, its label reading “RED ROUGE ROSSO ROJO 15,” the multilingual chorus emphasizing its boldness. A red-handled paintbrush, size “3,” points diagonally toward the artwork, its bristles stained from recent use. Off to the right edge sits part of a watercolor palette, its wells labeled “No.778” and “No.777,” each holding dried pools of color like tiny geological formations. The whole scene feels like a moment of making—quiet, tactile, and alive with the textures of mixed media: ink, watercolor, and marker all meeting on a single small square. Three inches by three inches.

We are living on a small blue marble in the vastness of space even though I sometimes feel like I’m living in an alternate universe.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 18, 2026. All rights reserved. A small piece of watercolor art lies at the center of the image, like a bright little island on a worktable. The paper is roughly square, and the painting feels soft and airy—washed in warm yellows, gentle pinks, and a whisper of lavender. The colors blend like diluted sunlight, drifting into one another without hard edges. Layered on top of this watercolor base are delicate sepia ink details. They’re extremely fine—almost hair‑thin—forming tiny dots, short lines, and small geometric shapes. These marks feel like someone gently stitching texture onto a cloud: subtle, intentional, and full of quiet rhythm. Above the artwork rests a beige technical pen, labeled “Pigma Micron 003,” the kind used for ultra‑fine linework. To the right sits a watercolor palette with many small paint pans, the brand name “Schmincke” visible. A paintbrush lies across the palette, still slightly angled as if the artist just set it down mid‑thought. The whole scene feels intimate and in‑progress—an artist’s quiet moment, tools scattered naturally around a small, glowing piece of mixed‑media art. Three inches by three inches.

Feeling random today. Random thoughts and ideas. Random emotions. Even so, it was a good day with positivity.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 17, 2026. All rights reserved. You’re looking at a small square of white watercolor paper resting on a tabletop. Centered on it is a delicate, mandala‑like drawing—something that feels halfway between a flower, a ripple in water, and a tiny universe unfolding. At the very center, there’s a tight cluster of tiny black dots, like seeds or pinpricks of ink. Surrounding that is a ring of soft watercolor petals—alternating light blue and pink, each petal shaped like a rounded teardrop. The colors are gentle, almost translucent, as if they were laid down with just a whisper of water. Encircling the petals are thin black ink rings, drawn with a very fine pen. One of these rings is washed with pale blue watercolor, giving the sense of a cool halo. The outermost ring is the most decorative: short black lines radiate outward like tiny sunbeams, each tipped with a small dot. It gives the whole piece a sense of motion—like it’s quietly pulsing or breathing. Above the paper lies a beige technical pen, labeled Pigma Micron 005, the kind used for precise, archival ink linework. To the right sits a small watercolor palette with three visible color wells, each labeled with both English and Chinese characters—shades numbered 773, 774, and 775. A paintbrush rests across the palette, still and ready. The whole scene feels intimate and handmade—like a moment of quiet creativity paused mid‑breath. The artwork itself is small but intricate, a soft bloom of color held together by crisp, intentional ink lines. Three inches by three inches.

A small bird stands on the ground amid a patchwork of short grass, tiny plants, and scattered dry twigs. The setting feels like a quiet, slightly scruffy natural area—open earth, low vegetation, and a sense of stillness. The bird itself is about the size of a robin but slimmer and more delicate. Its underside is bright white, clean and smooth like a fresh sheet of paper. Its upper body—back, wings, and head—is a warm, earthy brown that blends easily with the ground around it. What makes the bird striking are the bold black markings across its chest and neck. Two crisp black bands wrap horizontally around its upper chest, like narrow belts. A third black band outlines the front of its face, giving it a masked look. These sharp contrasts make the bird instantly recognizable as a killdeer, a type of plover known for nesting directly on open ground. The bird stands alert, body angled slightly forward, long legs straight and ready to move. Its eye is dark and bright, giving the impression of watchfulness—killdeer are famous for guarding their nests and performing dramatic “broken‑wing” displays to distract predators. Around it, the ground is a mix of green sprouts, pale dry stems, and patches of bare soil. Nothing looks manicured; it’s a natural, lightly messy habitat where the bird’s brown-and-white coloring provides excellent camouflage. The overall mood is quiet and grounded—an animal perfectly at home in its environment, blending vigilance with stillness.

Cute little Killdeer defending it's home on our farm. No worries. We see and respect your space. Hoping for babies sometime this spring.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 16, 2026. All rights reserved. You’re looking at a small square piece of abstract art, resting on a pale, smooth tabletop. Around it lie three drawing pens, like quiet tools waiting for their next mark. The artwork itself feels like a soft cloud of color that someone has breathed onto paper. Watercolor washes in blue, purple, and pink blend and bleed into one another—nothing harsh, everything fluid, like diluted ink drifting through water. The colors overlap in places, creating gentle gradients and pockets of deeper saturation. Layered on top of this soft background are fine black ink lines, drawn with precision. They form geometric shapes—tiny triangles, circles, dots, and short straight strokes. These marks don’t outline a single object; instead, they act like constellations scattered across a sky of color. Some shapes cluster together, others float alone. The ink gives the piece a sense of structure, like a quiet skeleton beneath the watercolor’s softness. The three pens surrounding the artwork each have distinct personalities. One is labeled “uni-ball Signo UM-155,” a gel pen known for smooth, opaque black lines. Another is an “Elegant Writer,” a calligraphy-style marker with a chisel tip. The third is a “MICRON 003,” an extremely fine technical pen used for delicate, hair-thin lines. Together, the pens hint at the layered technique: broad washes of color first, then crisp, intentional ink details added afterward. The overall feeling of the piece is gentle but lively—like a small burst of color and geometry captured in a quiet moment. Three inches by three inches.

Came across an Elegant Writer while cleaning out my studio. I love how they interact with water. Thought I’d have some fun.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 15, 2026. All rights reserved. You’re looking at a small watercolor-enhanced drawing of four more or less concentric circles. The inner circle is a stylized flower. The next circle is filled with lines that radiate outward to the next ring. The third circle is a granulating watercolor with blue and pink undertones. The last circle is also filled with lines that radiate outward although the lines are more bold than the inner ones. Above the watercolor is a uni-ball pen. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 14, 2026. All rights reserved. This photo is of a simple black‑ink drawing on a sheet of white paper, with the pen used to make it resting just above the artwork. The pin is a Pigmamicron 003 with archival ink. The drawing itself is a rectangle filled with several tall, wavy vertical lines. Each wavy line is made up of many short horizontal strokes stacked on top of each other, giving them a textured, almost wood‑grain or ripple-like feel. The lines sit side by side but don’t touch, creating a sense of gentle movement inside a clean rectangular border. The pen above the paper is a fine‑tip technical pen, suggesting the drawing was made with careful, deliberate strokes. The overall mood is calm, minimal, and focused on pattern and rhythm. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 13, 2026. All rights reserved. The photo shows a small art setup on a light tabletop. At the center is a square piece of paper with a hand‑painted pattern. The pattern looks like a loose plaid: wavy vertical and horizontal lines in bright pink and warm orange, crossing over each other. The spaces between the lines are lightly washed with a pale yellow watercolor, giving the whole piece a soft, sunny feel. Above the paper lies a thin Micron technical pen, the kind used for fine ink drawing. Its barrel is beige, and the label mentions a very small 0.20‑millimeter line width. To the right of the paper is a small watercolor palette. One of the wells holds a puddle of yellow paint, and a red‑handled angle-shader paintbrush rests across the palette, its bristles stained with color. The overall scene feels calm and creative, as if someone paused in the middle of making a cheerful, handmade pattern. Three inches by three inches.

I love to weave. Unfortunately, I’m not really good at it. Despite my best efforts, I never get perfect lines or straight sides. I still love to weave.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 12, 2026. All rights reserved. The picture shows a small arrangement on a light-colored tabletop. At the top, three pens are laid horizontally in a neat row. Two of them are slim beige technical pens with tiny colored tips—one pink, one blue. The third pen is a uni-ball with a smooth, modern look that created the black lines on this piece. Below the pens sits a square piece of white paper. On it is a precise geometric drawing made entirely of thin, straight lines. The lines form angled sections, almost like folded paper or a maze made of stripes. Most of the drawing is black ink, but a few sections contain bright accents in pink and blue, matching the colors of the pen tips above. The overall effect is clean, sharp, and very orderly—like a piece of minimalist abstract art created with great care. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 11, 2026. All rights reserved. The artwork is a small square watercolor painting. The background is a warm, glowing yellow meant to evoke forsythia, like a soft wash of spring sunlight. On top of that background are delicate cherry blossoms, painted in gentle pinks. Each blossom has fine black ink outlines, giving them a crisp, hand‑drawn feel against the looser watercolor beneath. The flowers cluster together near the center, their petals rounded and slightly overlapping, with tiny dark centers. The overall impression is light, airy, and tender—like early spring branches just beginning to bloom. Around the painting are the tools used to make it. Above it lies a slim, beige, Pigmamicron drawing pen, the kind used for precise ink lines. To the right is a small red‑handled paintbrush. Beside the brush sit two watercolor pans—one yellow, one red—showing the colors used to create the piece. The whole scene feels calm and intimate, as if the artist has just paused mid‑work, leaving their materials arranged around a bright, cheerful study of spring flowers. Three inches by three inches.

The forsythia is starting to fade, but the yellow is still striking on our mostly brown farm. The sweet cherries are starting to bloom.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 10, 2026. All rights reserved. The photo shows a small piece of white paper lying on a flat surface. On the paper is a detailed black‑ink drawing made up of curved, repeating lines that form a series of arches. Each arch is filled with tiny geometric patterns—triangles, dots, crosshatching, and other textured shapes—creating a very intricate, almost hypnotic design. It looks like a hand‑drawn mandala or a decorative border, very precise and symmetrical. Next to the paper are two drawing pens. One is a slim black pen labeled “uni‑ball,” and the other is a thicker marker labeled “uni POSCA.” Both pens are positioned casually beside the artwork, suggesting that the drawing was made with them. The overall scene feels calm and creative, like a moment captured from someone’s sketching session. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 9, 2026. All rights reserved. This photo depicts a small, intimate tabletop scene: three pens laid neatly in a row, and beneath them, a tiny square drawing filled with bold black patterns and a few delicate pink accents. The whole setup feels like a quiet moment of creative play. There are three pens arranged horizontally. The top pen is a black paint marker labeled uni POSCA.This is the marker used for the bold lines in the drawing. The middle pen is another POSCA paint marker, identical in shape but with a pink color band. This is the pen used for the tiny pink dots in the drawing. The bottom pen is a Mitsubishi uni‑ball. This one looks like a fine‑liner, likely used for the thinner, more delicate lines. All three pens rest parallel to each other, forming a tidy trio. Below the pens sits a small square piece of white paper. On it is a compact abstract design made entirely of black ink with a few pink touches. The drawing is divided into five distinct sections, each with its own texture. The top left section is defined by a bold ribbon-like curve with alternating black and white stripes. Below that is a pebble field consisting of a cluster of small, irregular circles — like smooth river stones pressed together. Each circle is outlined in black, with white space inside. The next section has sweeping curves that radiate outward like soft tendrils or plant fronds. At the tip of each curve sits a tiny pink dot, giving the section a delicate, almost blossoming feel. Next is a section of outlined ovals. Finally, a section of black and white stripes. The five sections meet cleanly, like pieces of a tiny quilt of patterns. The whole image feels playful, tactile, and intentional — a study in line, rhythm, and contrast. The black ink gives structure and weight; the pink dots add a whisper of softness. Three inches by three inches.

Sometimes, I have no idea where my doodle is going. Kind of like me today.

It's been a rough few months. I have been hitting the chocolate pretty hard. Take care of yourself. You are more important than all of the garbage that's going on right now.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 8, 2026. All rights reserved. This watercolor feels tactile and structured — imagine a grid of softly glowing color blocks, each one now edged with confident, thick black lines that give the composition a sense of rhythm and strength. Clearly, the color palette is heavily influenced by the decor of the 1970’s. The yellow shapes dominate the piece: warm, sunlit squares and rounded rectangles that seem to radiate from the center. Orange patches pulse between them like small embers, adding warmth and movement. Blue forms cool the composition, scattered like calm pools among the heat. Each shape’s edge is now defined by a bold, hand‑drawn outline in a slightly irregular manner. These lines create a gentle contrast — the softness of pigment meeting the firmness of contour — so the painting feels both fluid and architectural. The white of the paper peeks through between the shapes, giving breathing space and balance. Overall, the piece now reads as a lively mosaic of color and texture, unified by those bold internal strokes — a tactile interplay between softness and strength. Three inches by three inches.

Guess the era of music I was listening to today. Hard to imagine. Life was simple then.

Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
