Steal like an artist
Be inspired by someone else
Go ahead, copy.
Art Prescription: I’m big on copyright and would never try to sell a painting I painted in another artist’s style.
And as the book with that title, “Steal like an artist,” says, it’s okay to be inspired by other’s work.
Think about the great Impressionists.
So I’ve been looking at a few artists who do abstract acrylics, and here’s my take:
And still garden grows
Vines wrap their way towards the sun
Trees full canopy..
Art Prescription: With all that’s going on in the world, I’d like to offer up a moment of peace.
Sumi-ink and watercolor:
The world is a bit overwhelming. This is a post of gratitude. My life is very blessed. I’m grateful for each day, my health, my friends and neighbors. My husband.
My animals…
Reach for and pull weed
Hundreds more wait, roots sunkin
Teaspoon in ocean.
Art Prescription: Like weeds, opinions are rooted. I’m feeling like humanity is dipping into a sea with a teaspoon.
Be gentle dear humans, for we all seek the light.
Art Journal:
I feel I don’t need to add to this Turkish proverb.
Paper, wall-paper, stamps, fabric, washi tape, stitched:
Roses, shades of pink
Fleshy, velvety petals
Just now, freshly cut.
Art Prescription: Heading towards summer and joyful flower cutting from my garden.
A loosely painted watercolor…shades of pink:
Hi y’all,
Spent my afternoon painting in my studio with the doors and windows open. A bit warm, but like feeling I’m part of the backyard.
I’m working on a custom order. A set of my brush paintings.
So fun to work on a series:
Roof without cover
Garden with freshly tilled soil
Plans for the future.
Art Prescription: All projects start with plans. As you build, you reassess each angle. Measure twice, cut once.
I’ve just listed my next Stitch Kit!
Introducing: Wren
Carolina Wrens
And House Wrens sound out vocals
Big songs, little birds.
Art Prescription: Wrens are one of my favorites. I love their ducking gestures.
This is going to be my fourth Stitch Kit! Super excited to launch:
