We will be drawing a “lollipop girl” who is in “party time” mode because she is giving thanks to all the things she is grateful for in her life! It’s a happy uplifting painting for sure! We are also going to look at ‘gratitude’ and how a gratitude exercise can be helpful in our lives. The final painting with celebrate and express gratitude for things, people, experiences you are grateful for in your life! 🙂

A throwback to this journal page I love so much. The quote says: 'What if I fall, oh darling what if you fly'? By Erin Hanson. The full quote is: "There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?" Oh but my darling, What if you fly?" - It's one of my favourite quotes about taking risks, trusting life and the process and the idea that there is an unconditionally loving force behind you, gently encouraging you to grow, try new things and be your full authentic self without fear.

Last year, I made an expressive watercolour painting of an owl for Watercolour Wildlife and later last year, I made another cool owl for Woman Unleashed. I’ve been wanting to make a series of owls ever since. Here is the 3rd in a series! 😊 I’ll be making a few more! 😍😍😍 They are some of my most favourite animals.

Soooo, my next class will be learning how to paint

Soooo, my next class will be learning how to paint "expressive soul portraits" (omg so excited about this!) and currently editing the videos and LOVED this shot of one of the portraits mid-way. What I love about this way of working is that you can get all your raw emotions out and just make crazy messes to help facilitate all of the stuff that is going on for you and then you come out of the process refreshed and renewed and sometimes (not always) with an emotive, beautiful outcome, too! 😊 Check out all the layers and textures in this. Think at this point, it's about 30% into the painting process. It goes through a lot more transformation before it's finished.

Here is the final painting! 😁Wow, it was a labour of love and she challenged me, but I finally got it to a point that I love it! 😊

This painting found its forever home. 😊 I'm always so grateful for those who purchase my paintings! It's so magical to me, to think an original painting of mine hangs in someone's home. It's very special! ❤️🙏🏻❤️

I still love this painting and the quote so much. Haven’t painted in this style in a while but I can see myself returning to it. I love the innocence that can be captured in the whimsical. 🥰

Happy Valentine's Day frens! On Valentine's Day ea

Happy Valentine's Day frens! On Valentine's Day each year, I like to remind people to focus a bit more on 'loving one-self'.

Many of us extend kindness, care, and love to those around us, yet often we fail to offer ourselves the same level of love & compassion. This Valentine's Day, I'm reaching out to my incredible creative circle—including you, and yes, YOU! 😊 —to encourage a deeper connection with yourself. It's a gentle reminder to prioritise self-care, self-love, and self-appreciation. You are worth it you know? All that love you give to others! ♥️♥️♥️

Neglecting to treat ourselves with gentle kindness, compassion, empathy, and understanding can detrimentally affect our mental health, self-esteem, and overall wellbeing. While self-love and self-care might seem superfluous at times, they are essential practices that significantly benefit our mental and general health.
You might be wondering, "What does self-love entail?"

The concept is broad and highly personal. Depending on your life experiences, self-love can manifest in various forms—be it engaging in deep trauma work with a therapist, establishing firm boundaries, carving out time for enjoyable activities, creating self-gratitude lists, enjoying a relaxing bath or simply buying yourself the flowers, chocolate and cake! 💖 💐🍫

The key is to treat yourself like
you treat someone else you love deeply. ♥️

A Gift from me to YOU!

I've prepared another fun poster, this time it's one with Self Love Affirmations. You can print it out and hang it around your house or studio and recite the affirmations daily! 😊
Oh! And it's free! Hope you love it! You can download a high res version here; https://bit.ly/49hQfVw

Finally had some time to paint again. Expressive, semi-abstract realism is calling me. So much emotion can be put into these kinds of paintings. And, boy, did I pour a lot of emotions into this one, with so much going on in the world and in our lives. She, unintentionally looks a bit like Amanda Palmer!
