Just popped my shop onto vacation mode, as I’m not feeling motivated to put my energy into it at the moment. My now 6 month old is keeping me super busy and I’m preparing to return to my paid job in the next few months. Thanks all for your support thus far!

Here’s a snap of part of the process: popping the ribbon in paint before putting it on the paper.

Today’s painting theme was “paint with anything but a paint brush”!
I used my hands, ribbons, cups, an eraser, sides of a crayon, and a dried up roll of washi tape.
Here’s one of the finished paintings!

I need to start meal tracking to determine if what I’m experiencing is allergies or not.
I just found this app called Eatrack: Food Diary which I’m going to use to log my meals. I like that you specify what allergens are in the meal so it can do its data thing.

Something I’m struggling with since opening my Etsy shop is creating art for myself vs creating what I “think” other people will like. It’s the main reason I hadn’t opened a shop earlier.
Part of me is considering whether it’s worth the effort. Anyway, here’s a painting I’ve started for my own fun.

Therapeutic art. I feel really anxious today. Can you tell?
I did half of these marks just with my hands. The brush didn’t feel expressive enough.

“Proud” doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about these 2 pieces!
I have come so far the last 7 years with my art! I never thought I’d create something this freaking awesome!

Does anyone else get an ‘under the sea’ vibe from these or is it just me?

When a painting is finished it just feels ‘right’.
Here’s an #abstractpainting I’ve been slowly adding to over the last few weeks. This morning after adding a few details it feels ‘right’.

Art in progress! I love when art feels right. The colours are right. The shapes are right. Everything is sitting just where it’s meant to be.
This is intuitive painting to me.
The final element to these paintings will be some sweet strawberries 🍓
