I created a new space for myself this year, as you know it’s something I tend to do when I end a season of something. The shifting of energy in my space helps me find new creative energy. If it’s not something you tend to do, I do recommend the practice. It helps so much especially if you are a little stuck or overwhelmed about creating. I am smitten with my new space. My re-entry to daily creativity has been slower than most years and I feel humbled and most quiet at the moment and of course, I am not without some fear. I have been working on that. If you have been following me for years you will know I am good with projects, self motivated projects like #30days, #100days or #365days of something or other. I am wanting to get myself back to a place of flow with my paint, my paintbrushes and my beautiful big canvases. So I have decided to show up bank hours for the next #30days painting. Nothing specific, just painting and see what comes up. It might be the same piece for the next 30days or various works but more importantly no rules.

Just me and my paint, brushes and canvases.

SOLD *“My Dear Girl”* - 15.5” x 19.5” on watercolor paper, blockmounted.

I have also been working on a miniature collection of blockmount paintings, usually little warm down paintings at the end of a painting session with left over paint and big brushes. It’s a wonderful way to stay unattached to outcome, and also not wasting paint. I am trying to grow this little collection to around 10-15 pieces. They will be available soon. Some have been booked already so please feel free to reach out and put your red dot on one. Hopefully share more about that soon.

Today was day one of my #30Days and I managed to do another two blockmounts. I will be sharing here more regularly over the next #30days of my painting journey. I will be on a tight schedule of working the first 6 hours of each day painting. I will be turning my phone off for this and I hope this commitment to my practice will bring me back to a beautiful place of flow.

I sure have missed that incredible feeling with beautiful souls flowing right out of my brush.
