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 I would say that about 99% of my job (actually, my entire life?) is turning disorder into some loose semblance of order. Can I get an amen? I know you know what I mean. A couple of years ago I had the privilege of visiting this beautiful home for a Southern Creative Workshop (hosted by @_paigefrench, @rinneallen, & @evenettles). It was there, amid the lush southern foliage, in this historic home (dense with artwork and nature, inside and out) that I learn more about cyanotypes and left so encouraged by the conversations about intentional beauty and natural poetry. I lean heavily upon that day, thinking about it often. It always amazes me how nourishing a little creative time and space away can be (especially when it is time spent with inspiring women.) Try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely think, 'Here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow,' and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you your own impression of the scene before you. - Claude Monet // #doitfortheprocess ((todays painting progress)) A small collection of beautifully framed prints is available on my website! I absolutely love seeking and finding vintage frames and pairing them with canvas prints. Such a lovely marriage! Also, vines are my favvvorite design accessories (besides art, obv). The warmer it gets outside, the cooler my artwork becomes. Perhaps it's a subtle rebellion? Or perhaps I'm just intrinsically drawn to cool colors? Regardless of which it is, I'm feeling immensely inspired by our home and garden and the wild woods we live within. Nature growing out of nature, overtaking the landscape until it is so dense we cannot see through it. #naturepraisespeace
