A Work of Heart Studio

Does anyone else have an "assistant" who plops themselves down on top of your workspace to demand attention?

It was time for a reset on my giant canvas. It had been since September since I painted on it. I pledge to spend at least one session per week finishing this one up. If I have become comfortable with one thing in my painting practice it is letting go of layers by covering them up. #recreating #flamingabstracts #acrylicabstractpainting ... #mixedmediaabstract See more

Building kits for the lesson that just dropped on #creativejumpstart21 all of these bits are available in my shop even the totally custom palette of Daniel Smith paints...that's right you don't have to buy the entire tube! I'll make a custom palette for you.how cool is that? #danielsmithwatercolors #cansonpaper #princetonbrushes

And today marks the final day in my #awohfirst21of2021 series. All the videos are officially released. You can still sign up and have instant access to not only the 21 lessons for the transformation of each painting but the original 20 videos where I started from a blank canvas. Link in bio.

Making a daily Creative Practice work for you is the goal. What sort of prep work could you do that would empower you to infuse something creative into your day? My 16 minutes (yes I recorded it) of prep with my collage fodder yesterday made it simple to jot a quote down during my meeting this morning. This Sunday @drminetteriordan and I lead a workshop that focuses on exactly that. Building some practices that make living a daily creative practice intentional.... Link for registration is in my bio. The retreat is called "desires.. discoveries... directions"

Today is my day on #creativejumpstart21 I am truly honored to be in the company of such amazing artists. Have you been following alomg? We aren't even half way through the roll out of lessons. Each day an artist is featured and you get a short art lesson. 10-12 minutes in length. ... It is this bite sized approach that does it for me. I love the huge variety and very do-able lessons. The link to register is in my bio. You have access to the videos all year and can download those you wish to keep longer.
