Congratulations, Eleonor! This is gorgeous work!!!!

Thank you! I'll see how this goes; very mindful that things can always change. I guess I've just entered my season of "i just need this to be unstressful & fun, plz" 😂

Oh that's a whole other can of worms.😩 I've hit a point of realizing the importance of protecting my art & creative spirit. How, for me, that means not pressuring my art to be the breadwinner. It's that hustle that's been prompting me to rush all these years & hurting me.

Thank you for sharing! I also dislike rushing art. Quality of work def suffers. Recently, I've taken it a step further by taking a break from client commissions. Realized performance dread triggers the impulse to rush towards a deadline. Perhaps my process & stamina have changed actually.🤔

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the textures on the gold and her skin.

Oft repeated artist question (hope you don't mind), but how long does it usually take you to complete a full piece like this?

It really is great therapy! Just letting these flow out of my head for now.

Absolutely! I'm working on getting to that type of setup as well. Years of freelancing fatigued me and I'd like to just create without pressure too even for a little while. Hoping for good things!

PS: Glad to see your work!

Those are the goals! ✨ Congratulations!
