I love using acrylic inks. They move and flow in organic ways. This is a section of a larger sheet. It could almost be its own abstract! #acrylicinks #acrylicpainting #portaitart

While I was painting the other day, deep in the flow, my husband took a photo of my palette. This was my favourite shot. #oilpainting #portraitpaintjng #artistlife #mixedmediaart #artjournal

Feeling sad today about the events of the world. Feel powerless to make an impact. I’m sure I’ll find my footing. There is real reason for sad, angry, scared,….right now. Will spend some time painting tomorrow.

Seeking some inner peace today. I’m upset, angry, worried about the US administration using economic force to start a trade war with Canada. Also fighting a flu or cold so am curled up and keeping warm. #painting #artwork #mixedmedia #artist #portraitpainting

Even though profiles are more challenging to paint, they have such interesting lines and negative space. Might be time to do another profile.This is acrylic from a lesson in my art membership. #portraitart #painting #acrylicportriat #artjournal #mixedmediaart #artist

May you have a peaceful day. I love using texture in my artwork. This painting (and art lesson) is called Dancing with Dragonflies. #portraitart #artjournal #artist #artmedicine #acrylicpainting #mixedmediaart #dragonfly

Hello! Do you enjoy making mixed media art? Portraits? Nature inspired art? Is creating art healing for you? These are the things I love about creating art. Such incredible medicine…..joy, Connection, play, bravery, love,…

I’m grateful my “Butterfly Light” lesson is up this week in @tamaralaporte.bsky.social Year of Light Art course. It is warming my heart to see all the beautiful butterfly inspired portraits expressed in unique ways.

I love to paint tree women and create my own collage papers. This is with acrylic inks and acrylic.
