New paintings, autumn and fun supplies
As the crisp air descends, the world transforms into a canvas of warmth and richness. I’ve been preparing a new series of work that will be available soon to celebrate this new season. Here are a few snippets of my studio lately. 🍂🎨
They are filled with energy, light & color. I think I needed to express that. I am still in the process of understanding but it's been really fun and interesting!
I’ve also created a new large painting that is currently available. This new abstract painting is filled with life, emanating a palpable sense of vitality. Swirls of electric blue and touches of soft pink intertwine with bursts of lush green. The composition invites you to get lost in the whirlwind of hues and textures.
‘Bring her with you’ 36x48 inches.
Supplies
These supplies have become my constant companions in my creative journey lately.
Finally, here are a few art prints that I feel are connected with this new season.
I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend. xx
3 ways to stay creative when you are busy.
As you might know, I am a new mom. Time is completely different when you are a parent. You have a lot more responsibilities and taking care of a baby is a lot of work. I’ve developed a few skills to add some creative time to my days. I am able to paint almost every day, even if I am very busy taking care of our little one.
Here are three easy ways to add some creative time to your day. These worked great for me as a new mother but they are perfect for anyone with a very busy schedule.
Have all your creative supplies ready.
This was sooooo helpful for me. I have everything ready. Even if I have a few minutes only to paint I can access everything in a matter of seconds. I use these little boxes (see image) to store my paper, brushes and other important supplies to paint.
Create a ritual.
Find a way to block 10-15 minutes a day of creative time in your routine. Add this moment to your calendar as if it was an important meeting. Tips that work for me: I wake up 15 minutes earlier or I skip some time on social media. It does not have to take a long period of time in order to be meaningful and fun (I try to remember that).
Work on smaller paper or in a sketchbook.
This has been very helpful for me as a new mom. It’s fun to be able to ‘finish’ a painting. I had the feeling that I had accomplished something. If you are like me and love to start and finish a painting in one sitting then this little tip is great.
I hope this is helpful. Sending lots of creative moments your way ! xx
