    You don’t need to wait for New Years to plan out your year
    October 11, 2018February 6, 2019Personal Growth

    I turned 40 at the end of August. (Hallelujah! Seriously.) When I was a kid, 40 seemed SO OLD to me. Like it was the pinnacle of being an adult. Now that I’m here, I can assure you it feels way less like the pinnacle of adulthood and way more like any other year of my life.  Perhaps that’s why I felt so compelled to switch things up. I didn’t...

  • For the last week or two, I’ve been secretly posting to a new account called @facesandflorals as a way to share my art and have an online home for it. I wanted a portfolio of sorts and a way to see clearly how my work was progressing over time. . . . At the same time, I’ve also been working on importing content from my #100daysofblogging stint back in 2016. I’ve a realized a few things as a result of re-reading (and reformatting) those posts: I miss sharing about ALL aspects of my life. . . . Yes, I LOVE sharing the paintings and drawings but it has begun to feel a little limiting. I am craving more openness and transparency and less feeling like I can’t post something because it doesn’t “fit” with faces or flowers. . . . What does that mean for you? Two things. 1. If you’re only here for the art — go follow me over on @facesandflorals. That will ONLY be art. 2. If you’re interested in the ins and outs of my life (food, motherhood, art, writing, etc) then stick around. If you’ve been following me for a while, consider it a return to what I was doing before getting into painting. . . . Here’s to having fun and exploring all of the different facets of life. ❤️
  • Playing around with wider leaves and brighter colors. And I have to say I LOVE THIS ONE.
  • Decided to branch out and try some COLOR for the next round of leaves. Next time I should probably use pencils that aren’t my 4 year olds. 😂
  • Finally climbing out of the fog of sinus hell and felt motivated to draw some 🍃 with the new paper @photowbin sent me. Feels good to be doing something other than laying in bed. 😂🙄
  • It’s cold out and I have a miserable cold (plus a sinus infection/headache from hell). So instead of painting and doing something FUN I have been laying in bed next to the humidifier with an ice pack on my face, praying that the pain will go away. 🤞I can get back to painting soon.
  • For the past few months, @r.a.sager and I have been getting together for an art play date and it. is. glorious. Highly recommend getting a crafty-inclined friend or two together once a month to play and explore. I can’t even begin to tell you how good it has been for my soul. . . . This lovely lady was started during this months art date and was able to finish it this morning. My goal with this one: use color instead of grey to create a shadows and depth. Really love how it turned out.
  • Was going through all of the faces I painted in 2018 and these were by far my favorites.
  • One of the reasons I love watercolor is how it reminds me regularly of the importance of patience and allowing things to unfold without forcing it. Which, apparently, I was doing a lot of with this one (see time lapse in previous post for evidence). . . . For all of the trouble she gave me, I am pretty happy with how she turned out. Not sure how I feel about the background color through. 🤔
