This is the best place to make art



I have a studio outside my home attached to my garage. While I love my studio, it separates me from my home life. When I create art with acrylics, working in my studio is better, so I don't get paint all over everything. I can work inside my home with watercolors, I like that, I am involved,,,I am not separated as I am in my studio,,, and even my kitty likes to watch. This is the best place to create art!
p.s. see that little pill holder? I use it to put my watercolor paints in. It Keeps the paint moist while giving it a reservoir to keep paint in, and I can travel with it where ever I go.

Aceo's are available

I have been slowly getting back into creating some art for sale. I will still work in my art journal as I challenge myself to create art to sell as well. I am offering some aceo's in my shop now.

Abundance


"Abundance". An extremely plentiful or over sufficient supply. This is what I am feeling today. I am so blessed and I am so lucky! Thank you.

Reconnecting

Here is another page from my journal. The journal measures 5 x7 and this painting is small. It is created mostly by watercolor and Pan Pastels. As I revisit this page I am reminded of old love, new love, and the possibility of finding ourselves once again.

Journal page

Created in a small journal. I am working in this journal with one of my artist friends, Syd. We have been working in it since last year. I have one of hers as well. I always think the project will go by very fast, and life gets in the way, and we are still working in them. I like that though, no time constraints, just doing what feels right.

I have been working in my watercolor journal again. These pages were made with watercolor, graphite, and some Pan Pastels. It's nice to get back into my journals but I long for texture and depth.  The second submission is influenced by an exhibit of "Carnival" that I saw at the Burke museum over the weekend.  I love masks.  Perhaps I have been hiding behind one all of this year.  Recovering, exploring, and finding myself once again.. xo...

Letting go of attachment to outcome

Always reminding myself to let go of attachment to outcome.
Just live in the moment, no expectations....
