Prepping

Art show in June!!! 

There's so much I need to figure out - tent, tables, display,

and of course the art!!

Here's a small peek into what I'll be showing.

It's tea time a lot in my paintings these days :)

I'm finding the whole process so magical - 

combining watercolors with collage and acrylics on canvas

is way too fun! Looking forward to making more of these!

To tea or not to tea

WIP pics of my mixed-media, tea-inspired piece that I did for a recent giveaway. 

It involved working on a page from a vintage book that I've read so often it has fallen apart,

and flowers (dahlias?) that I drew and painted and cut out, and a canvas that has

multiple layers of paint and paper on it.

I'll share the finished piece soon.

Meanwhile, my mug (it contained coffee before I drank it all up and used it as a prop) is happy

it got to feature in my painting. OK, the stripes are the other way, but it's still black and white :)

Mark-making

This world is not made of shades of grey. It is made of colours like azure and coral and emerald and marigold. But it...

Bloom True

This made me think of a whole bunch of waterfall paintings I did once,

although those were all cool blues.

I made this more spring-like, which reminds me of resilience.

In the face of adversity, to bloom true.

Paintings!

Just enjoying the process.

Every painting is a journey.

And I always like to stop and smell the roses.

The destination is then lost in the joy of getting there.

And that's OK.

Midnight snow

Midnight snow.

We're not there yet,

but it's comingggg!!!

Also, I'm excited about being featured in Azizah again!

This time they will be publishing my painting,

Blue Drops:

as well as an illustration I made for them:

Can't wait to see it in print!
