Making time for art, no matter how small the work,

Making time for art, no matter how small the work, is sooo good for the soul. I painted a file holder to brighten up my office space and used my fave posca pens to make it pop. Functional art is awesome 😁 Swipe to see the other sides 💐🎨😁

I have been sorting out paperwork recently and I bought some simple manilla folders for storing it in...but they are so boring! My solution...to paint them of course 💐🎨😊

Original art brings such fabulous energy to a room

Original art brings such fabulous energy to a room. I live in a bright and colourful home. It gives me so much happiness to be surrounded by beautiful splashes of colour. The first thing you see when you walk through the front door is a bright red lounge/sofa with a loud zebra striped floor rug and every wall filled with bold artwork. No matter which room you are in, there is colour splashed about somewhere and I couldn't imagine living any other way. Do you need some colourful and original art in your home? Check out my Spring sale on my website. Link in bio 💐😁

There is happy dancing happening in the studio this afternoon!! I wasn't going to do it but the call of new art supplies was too much 😳🤣 I stopped at #eckersleys Kawana for their birthday sale and oh my... @jahneenieart you are such a bad influence and I am so glad you are...I was smiling for the whole trip home 😁 Sending a huge thank you to @jasart_au for the gift of beautiful pencils 🥰 Also a huge thanks to all the ladies for their help while I made my choices and for the hand getting it all to the car! It's been a beautiful afternoon...bring on the painting time 💐🎨😁

Such sunny colours in the studio on this dull and overcast day. It really has been super energising to spend 6 glorious and uninterrupted hours in my favourite place. Being surrounded by these cheerful flowers almost makes me feel like spring has come early 💐

It has been a beautiful Sunday with the whole morning spent in the studio creating these little cuties. Watch my stories to see my process! Still in progress but they are making my heart happy already! What are you doing on this 'Go Slow' Sunday?

I'm feeling it might be time to finish off these lovelies 💐 I always have paintings in various states of progress in the studio. When I get frustrated or unsure about where they are heading, I put them aside and move on to something else. Often when I go through these unfinished works at a later date, I find the inspiration that was missing and I can get on and finish the painting 😁🎨

Spring is coming and it's time for a sale! It's been a tough year and I think everyone needs some happiness in their life. Nothing brightens up a room like a bold and colourful original painting.

Sometimes all it takes is a half hour in the studio to feel refreshed. This little cutie is unfinished but it felt sooo good to start it 😊💐

I was feeling the need yesterday to just play with colours so I created some pretty backgrounds in a couple of my sketchbooks. I love knowing there is a background just waiting for something to be added when the time is right. It's a fab way of taking the pressure off and just having fun 😁🎨

I have been super quiet of late. I think my head and my heart are feeling hugely overwhelmed and I have zero control of the causes. I know many people are struggling with big emotions in 2020...such a crazy year it has been so far! Today is the first time I have picked up a brush in weeks and it felt good to let some of my emotions out in my sketchbook. Doing a little of what you love each day certainly does feel good...now to do more of it.

My landscapes have taken a turn in their colour scheme 🎨 My original plan was to paint them in earthy tones but I just wasn't feeling it. I'm much happier now and feeling like they are finally moving in the right direction. Being open to change and letting my inner emotions guide me always ends up being the righ decision...I just need to trust that and not hold back.

Today I have been exploring my creativity in a slightly different way...I've been baking! It has been a fabulous day. Our home smells like my childhood (such great memories!) and my family get to sample my freshly baked goodies. I am going to work my way through my Mum's well loved recipes...My beautiful Ma is 85 and is looking forward to being my 'taste tester' 😁

Fingers covered in paint...just how I like them! It is always a sign that I have been enjoying myself 😁 I have finally put brush to canvas and started my landscapes. I can't wait to see how they turn out. Follow my stories for little hyperlapse clips of my progress 🎥🎨
