The last few weeks have felt like one giant reminder that even through chaos and pain, the good stuff is happening right now. š„¹
My best friends came to town earlier this month and we I have been soaking it in š¤the long days, storm watching late nights, concert dancing, river time, kiddo filled mornings, and the kind of moments you wish you could bottle up forever.
And somewhere in between all of that, Iāve been creating like crazy. Iāve made more art, sold more work, and felt more creatively alive than I have in a long time the last month.
And now Iām walking into the studio with this absolute MONSTER of a canvas š because someone trusted me to create a giant Stunning commission for their space.
There was a time when I thought being serious about my art meant I needed to constantly be working, posting, producing, and proving myself.
Lately Iām learning that maybe a beautiful life doesnāt distract me from creating beautiful things. Giving myself time to get lost in work again and remembering what made me want to be a painter is the first place.
Anyway⦠time to turn this giant blank canvas into something magicalš¤
Come along for this one. I have a feeling itās going to be really special.
What made you feel alive this month?
