Make art, not war
Retired tattoo artist due to medical issues, on a different art journey. I’ve been painting for many years, but not meaningfully. I’d like to change that this year. This is my journey 🤍
Dreaming of winter as the warm weather approaches. I’m not a summer girl lol

Some pretty little lavender flowers. I really love my Daniel Smith watercolors. They are definitely my favorite

Loose landscape painting of a view from the suspension bridge, of the Carrabassett river, in Maine. It’s so beautiful here

My husband and I are going on vacation soon, to a cottage on a lake. I can’t wait to do some plein air painting!

Icy winter scene. I used my new Paul Ruben watercolor set, trying out something new. They are nice

More low key watercolor doodles with some gold metallic watercolor for a lil ✨

I haven’t had a ton of time to paint lately, so this has been a fun way to just play with the paint

Been enjoying just playing with the paint lately. I’ve seen these watercolor doodles all over YouTube, so I thought I’d give it a go. These are my art deco kuretake watercolor paints. Like a mix between gouache and watercolor

I wish I had taken a photo while we were in this location. It was my first real plein air painting! There was this gorgeous spot along the river, with a bench 🤍

One of my Mother’s Day gifts. Some Kuretake watercolors. Also received some Princeton Neptune, silver black velvet and da Vinci paint brushes, along with a Paul Ruben set. My husband spoils me 🤍

Had so much fun with the first one, thought I’d do a second. Plus I found it it’s #mermay ! On that note I think I’ll do another. Do y’all ever just get pulled into doing something on repeat because it’s so fun?

Life has been so crazy! Surgery, renovations, chronic health issues, so on and so on. I haven’t painted in weeks! Decided to get back to it today, with something simple

Between my husband’s surgery and house repairs as we prepare to sell, it’s left no time for painting. I offer you a photo of our cat Banana, as cat tax, may he bless your day with peace and joy

Made this little guy last summer. I have a few little critters I did, but he’s my favorite 🥰

Strawberry bun a did a while back. I’ll eventually go back to acrylics, I just got kind of frustrated with the medium, and find watercolor to be so much more elegant. I enjoy the process a lot more. Oil scares me so I have shied away from it

A post of just the full shot, so it shows up larger in the feed.

I also paint with acrylics, this is inspired by Charles Wysocki, it’s one of my favorites I’ve done to date.

I also paint with acrylics from time to time. In fact that was my primary medium for years. Anyway, this is inspired by Charles Wysocki, it’s one of my favorites I’ve done to date. I finished it about a year and a half ago

I’d love to live here. There is something so peaceful about winter. The damped sounds, with the snow insulating the world. It’s why I had a snowflake tattooed on my palm, years ago. To remind me of that quiet peace

Another set of tiny paintings! These are so fun and a great way to use up those little scraps of paper

My first go at some type of realism. It took some effort to make the bottom rock not look like a potato lol

Might be a little bright and sunshiny compared to what I usually do. As a whole, I don’t love it, but I do love the details here and there

As usual, Daniel smith on Arches cold pressed

So I had this tiny piece of arches left, from cutting some 4”x6”, and thought “I wonder how tiny I can paint”

1”x1.5” is the answer 😂
