celebrate this. 8/27/23

Happy good day to your beautiful mind and heart 💜

Thank you for sharing time with me today. I always get joy from it.

How have you experienced the last week?

Mine has been sprinkled with the back to school whatzits and end of summer vacation hullabaloo. My daughter is starting kindergarten 🍎 this year, so it just got a lot more complicated and exciting. Wish us luck!

This week I want to celebrate creative inspiration 🖌️

I’ve been a creative person in various pursuits my whole life, some more than others, and this past week, I got struck with the urge to paint 🎨

This is relatively rare for me. I’ve done it a few times over the past months for the 30-day bad art challenge with Brigitte Marie Energy Design, a paint by number when I quit smoking, some experiments when my daughter paints, and most notably, a few canvases during a bad breakup over a decade ago.

So I’m riding the wave 🌊

Painting is calling and I must go 🌄

I dug out some old, used canvases (painted during that bad break up ⬆️) that I can give a second life to, and away I went. I primed them for a fresh start, and I took down some other existing pieces from my wall that I think I can use for creative bones.

These aren’t urgent projects either. I’ve started experimenting with a few things on them (real photos above), and I’m just in love with the process and curiosity of it all. I already feel the buzz inspiring me to dabble in other mediums that I’ve never ventured into before.

Art is taking some different space up in my life lately, and I’m extra interested to see where this takes me. Keep an eye out in case I share more 👀

Now what about you? What’s inspiring celebration in your corner of the world? Shoot me a message here or the socials ✌️

🪄 May this week fill us with curiosity and courage ✨
