    Pura Vida

    February 12, 2022 / No Comments

    Hopefully, you have updated your bookmarks to come visit me on my new website. You should notice that I’ve made a few changes. I now have my etsy store linked here. I hope you’ll browse and decide to buy something. I struggled a bit with commodifying what I’m doing, however, more than a few people have asked to buy things…

    So I did a thing

    December 28, 2021 / 1 Comment

    I’ve been encouraged by a few people to start selling my art online. I’ve been reluctant because I don’t want the pressure of creating to sell. Painting has been a way for me to relax during the craziness that all began in March 2020. It’s been very meditative for me, so the thought of commodifying that felt like pressure to…

    Every day holds something new

    September 12, 2021 / 1 Comment

    I’m so sorry. I love my blog and I always mean to attend to it more regularly and then life happens. 1. A lot has happened since my last post back in May. I’m still creating, albeit not as much as I would like because my workplace has reopened and so, I’m having to go into the office on a…

    Returning

    May 6, 2021 / 17 Comments

    Yesterday, I had to go to the my office to print up documents for a project for work. It was a lot of pages to print up at home, so going to the office was the only answer. I’ve been back in the office only one other time since we were shut down. My desk is still a mess (where…

    Last Day!

    April 30, 2021 / 8 Comments

    Today is the last day of Effy Wild’s April Blogging challenge. While I didn’t do it every day, I posted way more than I have in a long time. It was such a pleasure to read blogs again and learn about other people. Facebook and Twitter feels like surface level learning about people. Blogging feels much more authentic and true. Effy…

    Give in to Joy

    April 29, 2021 / 16 Comments

    I finally finished the painting I started the other day. It is from Effy Wild’s “Year of Mary. There were a number of times where I was feeling frustrated with this girl and wanted to throw it in the bin. I decided to start talking to her lovingly and thinking nice, lovely thoughts towards the painting and this girl. She finally…

    Flowers of Cabo

    April 27, 2021 / 10 Comments

    Here are some beautiful flowers I took photos of while we were in Cabo. When I finally have some time to paint and create again, I’m going to use these as inspiration. I’m obsessed with flowers and whenever I get a chance when I’m out and about, I take lots of pictures to the happy annoyance of my husband.  My…

    Body Beautiful

    April 17, 2021 / 4 Comments

    We arrived in Cabo Thursday afternoon. We are very fortunate to be staying in an amazing resort called Montage. Our room has gorgeous views of the ocean. We have had incredible food and have been able to relax by the pool. Confession – I spent way too many years hating my body. It really is a love/hate relationship I have…

    The Bird in the Storm

    April 14, 2021 / 13 Comments

    Art I’m in a rut, artistically speaking, right now. I’ve signed up for quite a few things this year and nothing is speaking to me. Yesterday, I continued working on a piece that I started this week-end and I’m very “meh” about it right now. I try to be gentle with myself as a newbie artist, but this is something…

    Just a quickie

    April 10, 2021 / 13 Comments

    Today we are taking my husband’s granddaughter out for a day trip to see one of his rentals, then to visit my parents for a bit. I’ll write more tomorrow with hopefully some pictures. Have a great day everyone and happy Saturday.
