Finally completed the watercolor painting for the cover design for my Novella Painted In Positano. Here's the front cover with the finished painting of Paloma and Giovanni dancing. Great way to head into 2026.

Fun with acronyms... SCE gave me PTSD.

Power back on. The great refrigerator clean out is finished! Earlier today keeping Spooky cool on the tile floor with an inside temp of 78.

Our Fireplace Couple.

I'm IN - Come see me at the Simi Valley Cultural Center's Winter Art Marketplace, Sat, Dec 5 from 10-4pm! It's never too early to prep, so I've been making the limited edition prints all morning. Women Of Travel Series, Illustrated Women Series, plus some surprises. Save The Date

Wrote more pages in my family sci-fi feature while at my daughters PT appt. Next up, shenanigans at the lake. #screenwriting

Happy Portfolio Day. #portfolioday! Ciao, I'm Lauri Jon. I'm an artist that works in both traditional mediums, like watercolor, acrylic, and color pencil, as well as digital. My art is about the beauty, complexities, and diversity of women.

As I scroll through the streaming options on all the streamers I have, after watching The Princess Bride again, I KNOW deep within my soul that eventually my Magical Realism Romance will be a selection on the streamers. You’ll get there Paloma!

Working on a Zombie head. Commission.

Working on a zombie head... so many ways to go. I've begun painting the base a green with a watered down gray on top... once I have this to the point I like it I'll move on to painting the details. #zombie #halloween #painting

Very rarely do I stress eat but its 12:09 on a Sat and this Gelato Box is hitting the stress spot!

Just started the pencil to my next Woman of Spirit painting... I think the woman resembles Joey King from Practical Magic 2. #JoeyKing #pencil #WIP

Just had to update my Spoonflower shop. Here's my new shop banner. Yes, I design fabric, which is called surface design. Fabric that can be used for clothes or pillows, duvets, and other home decor items. It's under the shop name LauriJon. #surfacedesign #design #fabricdesign

YouTube forest view living room jazz is my chill jam

Watching Vamps

More Halloween decorations... because I normally have this all done October 1 but it's been too dang hot. #Halloween #spookyseason

I'm finally up to page #10. Zinnea is now Naldo and Citali's lab partner. Let the games begin! #screenwriting

This is brilliant.

I guess one of the reasons I like Halloween so much is I grew up watching Bewitched. Yes, I hand drew/painted this from the animated open. #Bewitched #Halloween. (Oh, p.s. I went into advertising as my first career... like Daren.)
