Painting is always enjoyable, but there has been a special fire in my process recently. It's intangible, and I can't quite put my finger on what the cause for this joy is, but I am reveling in it. Travel? Pregnancy? Sunshine? Good coffee? Probably a magical elixir of all of the above. Gosh I wish I could bottle this feeling, save a few vials for later, and hand the rest out like candy. šŸ­ Today was beautiful - inspired by the glorious 9:00pm sunsets, blooms, my sweet baby kicking inside (which literally feels like Magic), and that energetic mojo that comes as the sun shines just right through the window. // hours left to go on this piece, but I always love this stage. Maybe someday I'll stop here and call it āš”ļøāš”ļø Color inspiration for one of the paintings and working on today. We're having the craziest sunsets these days - The whole sky awash with storybook hues and watercolor brushstroke. Amazing. // Thank you @willowflorals for choosing such beautiful blooms! // see my story for a bit of the progress. I don't think I have been more content than I was in this moment: warm Mediterranean waves, my wonderful man riding the waves while holding up two girls squealing because they can see fish, my tiny boy kicking away, sunshine, castle views, and really absolutely nothing to complain about at all. Memories I will keep forever. I know this kind of perfect moment is a bit rare, but smaller happiness isn't. Small joys are peppered throughout every day, keeping the sunshine alive and my heart thankful. šŸŒŠ šŸŒŠ#thejeffordsgetaway I love coming upon a whole wall of possibilities, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the beauty, but then something springs to the forefront and ignites that sweet spark of inspiration and šŸ’„ choices are made. Today, the creamy-teal is singing strong, and tomorrow it will probably be different color -- but that's half the fun: chasing inspiration, doing my best to keep up. Which color is inspiring you today? // PS. @charvinart is my newest favorite for oil paints. Deliciously fine pigment and colors (& the shop right along the Seine is glorious.) The whole painting process has felt really, really wonderful lately, and I'm drawn to larger canvases than I have in the past months (2nd trimester perks). šŸ™ŒšŸ½šŸ™ŒšŸ½ I don't know exactly when this collection will be available, but I do know that, when it is, I'll be extremely proud of it. That's a really good feeling. #doitfortheprocess // photo by @juliamaddensears (taken several months ago, before I became obsessed with wearing gloves while I paint) šŸ˜‚ #whpšŸŒˆ
