Walking on Sunshine is acrylic on canvas, 12 x 24 and $235. I spotted this piece today and had to share a sliver of our glorious trip to PEI in 2016. You all know I cannot get enough of #colour and #texture, and when the ground looks like this, I am #always going to be late getting to your house on time. It’s a promise! #creativelifehappylife #maritimes #canadianartist

Angela messaged me a few weeks ago asking if I would like to visit on her podcast about creativity and finding my voice as an artist. Angela @creativepulsepodcast is a dream!! She went to high school with my husband and has watched my creative journey from the start. I am much more confident speaking with my brush than my voice, but I hope you can catch that I love the beautiful world we live in and am seeking to catch the light and share it with all of you. Thank you to all who constantly support me in so many ways!! Happy listening #podcast #art #creativepodcast #create

All set up in my new studio space today. Not much sun on the outside but there IS sunshine in my soul My son Max is singing and playing guitar in the next room, and my toes are warming up thanks to a new little space heater (I’m too lazy to start a fire quite yet) Now let’s get to work and see if I can get this painting finished up today. #trees #landscapepainting #canadianartist #art

Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace, and power in it. ~Goethe~ We will never accomplish anything worthwhile until we take the steps to begin. Lace up your sneakers and step out the door, pull up a blank document and start typing your thoughts, pick up the guitar and spend time fingering the strings. It is in the ACT where the power is released and our hearts rejoice and find release. Here’s to new beginnings and opening ourselves up to #vulnerability. I’ve only taken one pass over this piece but I am super excited for studio time tomorrow!! #art #inthestudio #create

Have to get back to doing more of these florals and kicking it up a notch! I feel like so much around me is fighting for attention, that making time for art has been knocked about 20 knotches down the list. Why does that happen? Why do I allow it to happen is the more important question. Why, when my creative time and exercise fill me with what I need to take care of the rest, are they the first two to go? Anyone else feel the same way? #creativelifehappylife #focus #determination #art
