As I wait for the sunshine to hopefully reemerge from behind all these clouds this afternoon, I think I'll keep gazing at this gorgeous print from Susan Schwake for The Working Proof called On the Rocks: 

The print was inspired by family trips to the ocean in New Hampshire, and now have me totally dreaming of a summer beachside vacation…

The tiny birds are hand-painted, and I love the mix of soft color tones and white texture… 

You can read more about Susan's creative process and this print in particular right here.
