Started working on a highly imaginative piece toda

Started working on a highly imaginative piece today, just because I need to give myself a focus during this crazy time. The first animal, my sleepy panda, is blocked in using acrylics. I will block the rest of the painting in before hitting the details in oils. Acrylics also give me the ability to add or subtract areas as my imagination progresses. Any questions? Fire away! Find some of my other whimsy pieces with @lalalandshop link in my bio...👆🏻

The Girl In The Dress - Lilly. Now available on @bluethumbart ...I was holding this one off for art prizes this year...but Corona. Meh. 🥴Thank goodness for online shopping. That’s the art life. 😏

‘Purrfection’ and oldie from a few years back

‘Purrfection’ and oldie from a few years back and Sold, but it sure is purrfect for what we all need to be doing now. Staying home, enjoying the leisurely pace of hibernation, finding peace in the quiet companionship of our fur kids and getting stuck into books, art, writing, gardening, home projects and what ever we can find to keep us contented in this strange new world we find ourselves in. Sigh. Wishing you all well. 💓 @Bluethumbart

It’s a good time to put all your introverting skills to use...⁣
Let’s reach out to our extrovert friends and show them how it’s done.⁣
My key tip from plenty of introverting practise...⁣
⁣
Routine is the key. ⁣
Wake up at the same time, plan your day, exercise and work times and clock off at the same time in the evening. ⁣
Especially when you’ve got extra people in the house, each of you sticking to your usual timeline makes things less stressful.⁣
My biggest problem is adjusting to people around me all day! ⁣
Ah...the noise! ⁣
⁣
Tell me your best introverting / hibernating tips...⁣

Phew, I managed to get a new tube of my most favor

Phew, I managed to get a new tube of my most favorite @artspectrum.com.au Indigo (and a few other colours) today. Thank you @jacksonsdrawingsupplies This was one of the Most important items on my #stayathome shopping list! (As you can see I’m down to the last squeeze on my old one!) I’m ready to bunker down, make home my sanctuary and to save lives. Yep...if we can commit 80% of our population to staying home, we can save lives and give our doctors, nurses and heath workers a fighting chance of defeating this monster. What will you fill your time with? Mine will be drawing, painting, gardening, decluttering and an ample amount of Netflix for sure! Stay safe my friends.

Such trying times. ⁣
Our hearts so filled with fear.⁣
⁣
Let’s calm our minds and create sanctuaries in our homes. ⁣
📞📱💻 Enjoy your Friends from a distance...Pick up the phone, write emails and send cards. ⁣
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family. Make memories at home, around the table, in the garden. Be at peace🧘🏻‍♀️with this enforced family time. It WILL get a little crazy at times. 🤼‍♀️🤺🤹🏻⁣
Be gracious at the supermarket, take what you need and no more. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️⁣
🎨👩🏻‍🎨 And lastly...Make art, look at art, share art, buy art to make your home a haven. ⁣
And remember...This too will pass. ⁣

When I find myself in times of trouble, ⁣
Mother Nature speaks to me, ⁣
speaking words of wisdom.⁣
‘Let it be”⁣
Wise words by the Beatles. 🎵 ⁣
⁣
Thanks to @leannepearsonart for the words of inspiration. ⁣
⁣
Great to hold a paintbrush and shut out the noise today. ⁣
This one is nearly done...it’s heading to the Great Wall of contemplation to await final touches in a week or so. ⁣
Ps...black is hard to photograph 🥴⁣
Please share, comment, like. ⁣
Artists are front line to diminishing sales during a crisis the size we are seeing. We pay bills too. ⁣
👩🏻‍🎨🎨 @artspectrum.com.au Indigo is my favorite!

🌟 Happy International Women’s Day! ⁣
⁣
Here’s to strong women...may we know them, may we be them. ⁣
⁣
Let’s teach our girls to reach for the stars, to break glass ceilings, to stand tall. ⁣
⁣
To be big hearted and love others, ⁣passionately, deeply. ⁣
To shout loudly when needed or just walk away with shoulders straight. ⁣
⁣
To grow gardens and build empires. ⁣
⁣
To raise children who delight in and care for the beauty of this earth. ⁣
⁣
Let’s be fierce together. Straightening each other’s crowns, with the softness and femininity we can be proud of. ⁣

Yesterday’s achievement...gosh I love the stages

Yesterday’s achievement...gosh I love the stages that come after a full underpainting is done. The Detail. So satisfying. Slow, but ridiculously enjoyable. So much to go, but it’s fitting in nicely with the hectic duties of site supervisor for our renovation!

🎨 Often easier said than done!⁣ ⁣ I have a

🎨 Often easier said than done!⁣
⁣
I have a annoying tendency to clean up my brush marks...a habit I’m trying so darn hard to break. ⁣
⁣
I get torn between my admiration of hyper realistic work and loose, semi abstracted work. ⁣
⁣
Mine sits somewhere in between...in the barren no mans land of normality. 🙄⁣
⁣
Most artists will at some stage go through unhelpful, self condemning comparison to what other artists are achieving...I certainly do. ⁣
⁣
The only way through this is to take the comparing and throw it on it’s head...deconstruct paintings you love and list exactly what it is you admire. ⁣
Is it the brush marks?⁣
Is it the colour palette?⁣
Composition?⁣
Subject matter?⁣
⁣
Pinterest is an fabulous tool for collecting work that appeals to you as an artist. Make boards that will help you to master your painting.⁣
⁣
Like a particular colour palette? Pin it to a board specifically labelled Colour palettes. Do the same for all the areas you need help in. It’s an incredible tool, as long as you do fall into the comparison head space! ⁣
⁣
You can find me on Pinterest...the link is in my bio. I have boards of my own art and a huge amount of boards for art I love, art techniques, art ideas, illustration, photography...you name it, I’ve got it! ⁣
⁣
Say hi if you find these snippets helpful! ⁣

Little by little...see how much the highlights sta

Little by little...see how much the highlights start to pop when the darks go in? I’ve circled an area I spent time on today. Painting is really all about light...capturing it with a great composition (layout), building it into form (shapes), and making it come alive with tone (black through to white or darks through to lights in colour.) Get these things right and you are pretty much guaranteed a good painting. Sounds simple enough right? Then add persistence, practice and passion. 💝

Swaying to my dark side...finally got some time in

Swaying to my dark side...finally got some time in the studio today. Picking over the florals with a quite rough underpainting. As soon as it’s covered, I’ll work back into each petal with tone and form and glazing. Highlights will bring this to life. What do you think so far? Any questions on technique or painting or life? Fire away!

Progress on my any thing but white roses...😆 Lo

Progress on my any thing but white roses...😆 Love seeing form arrive from a blank canvas. Glazing and highlights will be added once I’ve filled all the roses and jug. I may even find my dark side and go with a black background...it’s a mystery at this stage!

Gosh, I’ve got so many artworks that havn’t had their time in the limelight...🤩 ⁣
⁣
Until now! ⁣
⁣
I’ve just downloaded the perfect app to bring my artworks to a real world setting...@insituartroom #insituartroom ⁣
⁣
😍 It was better priced than I expected and allows me to place my artworks in multiple settings and at their correct sizing, which is super important. It’s good fun to see my art hanging on a wall, even if it is just digitally for now! ⁣
