Bouncing between digital art, acrylic painting, and water coloring while I wait for Spring to officially arrive in Minnesota. #springart #digitalartist #nikkijeantranart #mnartist #procreate

My latest painting. 🩷 For now, I've decided not to sell my canvases. I've already given many away as gifts, and my thoughts are that if I ever were to sell them, profits would go towards charity. Maybe someday I'll sell them for myself, but that just doesn't feel right for now. #creative #floralart

Posted not one, but two blog posts yesterday! One about the state of the world, and another about my new word of the year. Hugs to you all. 🩷 blog.nikkijeantran.com

So many rainbows. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #creativeliving #seasonalliving

During the day, I'm feeling bombarded with the reality of what's been going on in the world. But at night, my brain is being so nice and surprising me with dreams of my garden, specifically how it will look in spring with all 100+ bulbs I planted. Thank you, sweet brain. 🌱 #inthegarden

Another way to unlock creativity in the winter: blending oils to smell like I'm outside. Oddly, this is enough to excite me to get into my studio and begin working. I recently found a recipe called The Shire. I think that's what hooked me. 🌿 Anyone have a favorite blend I should try? #creativeliving

I'll never not have spring bulbs in my house during the dark days of winter. I wake up each morning and smell spring. 🌱 What a delight. 💛

Starting a new social media platform always feels odd - like you're sending something into the abyss. But here we go. I'll be sharing art from my watercolor calendar, words from my book-in-progress, and other things that contain beauty and goodness. Cheers to you, friend! 🩷😘 #blueskyartist

I've been experimenting with glitter eyeshadow (huzzah for the early 00's!) and thought, why not try glitter on a canvas? The next time I'm at @blickartmaterials.bsky.social I'm going to search for some more glitter...🩷
