This collection has all been sketched and painted on location. Every day I carry a little watercolor travel palette, a pen and a brush with water in the handle.

I enjoy visiting coffee shops on lazy weekends with my husband. I have been on the search for the perfect chai latte. We try to find visually quirky, off-brand shops, which are thankfully plentiful around San Diego. Wherever we land, he pulls out a book and I open my sketchpad while we enjoy our lattes. That is pretty close to heaven for me. To see my sketches, follow me on Instagram @LoriMitchellArt
