I’ve been playing with something new and, guys, I’m in LOVEEEEE with these oil botanical pieces! They are a blend of the mediums I love most, feeling like cyanotypes, oil painting, and the watercolors. 😍 A collection of oil AND watercolor botanical paintings will be available on November 1st at 1:00pm eastern time.
“Do it for the process.” As an artist and creative person, it can be so easy to find value only in the end product, but the process is where joy is located. The movement, decision-making, the repetition and creative rhythm — the process holds satisfaction. // I’m honored to be featured on the beautiful New Southern Blog by @alyssarosenheck.

Finding uncommon beauty in common things. What object do you find beautiful? I clearly have an obsession with paint brushes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Oil painting is tough on the bristles and I’m, admittedly, terrible at cleaning them, so I tend to amass a small hoard of brushes. But you know what, having a glutinous buffet of options is SO gratifying when you’re in the zone. I’m leaning into it.
I’m in the studio today, getting ready for a photo shoot with @annafduncan tomorrow 🙌🏽 and remembering the first time I hired someone to capture our crazy studio life. @paigefrenchstudio took this image (which I will cherish forever) of my tiny girl, M years ago. We began coming to the studio when both my daughters were small and life was anything but stable but, in the space, we found peace and so much joy. if you feel like you’re living in a season of life that’s not worth documenting – I assure you that IT IS. Because all seasons are precious and beautiful, especially in hindsight! So if you’re able, hire a photographer, hire your cousin, set up a tripod and take some selfie‘s… Do you what you have to do but know that this time is precious and (just like those fat little toes 😍😭), it changes quickly. Xo
Progress is quiet and slow (unless you super-speed it!) But truly; actually change takes time and it happens gradually, inch by inch, thought by thought, moment by moment. 💎 I know things are crazy RN. The world is in a tizzy and it feels like there are very few places of true refuge and peace. But I hope you see the beauty in the world around you and that you add to it, share it, spread goodness and thoughtfulness, lift up the hurting and champion your sisters and brothers. May your heart be a refuge for many tired souls. 💎 feed your heart goodness, love, beauty, and grace because these things are power and we need them to spread like a wildfire.
😍😍😍 We’re in this really full and beautiful time of year when it is still warm but the leaves are yellowing and the sunset is creeping earlier into the daytime. The sky still holds summertime’s breeze but is beginning to glow with the fullness of winter. Pure beauty. // This is the top portion of one of my new paintings “Rest in the Wild Places” which is still available!! The bottom portion of the painting is full of wild grasses and the deep greens of late summer. #emilyjeffordsart
