Do One Thing (that you really want to do!)

Make sure in all of your doing today, to do something delightful for you. It’s easy to forget that we have the power to do this. Busy with real life stuff we forget to do the simple things that help lift our spirits in all the right places.

I was a guest on the ‘Learn to Paint’ podcast and here’s what happened…

I did a Learn to Paint podcast that has some talking points I thought you might find helpful/inspiring/downright funny…

In the interview, I talk about: How I got into art, What I need from reference photos, Being conscious of what I want to paint, Biggest challenges I see students facing with color, Getting and avoiding mud, Palette strategy vs painting strategy and more!!

A week of small things that resulted in peace and contentment

In gratitude for the creators

How lucky we are to see these moments. Big magic, indeed.
