ART + Inspiration

Not done yet, and it may look very different when I AM done. Sometimes I just leave a painting alone for a while so I can enjoy where it’s at, even though I know it’s not finished. A painting has growing to do, but sometimes it’s good to rest. Just like in life. #art #artoftheday #gallery #judyschmidt #yycart #yycartist #interiordesign #emergingartist #artforwardinteriors #artistoninstagram #artforthehome #paintingoftheday #artistfeature #canadianart #contemporaryart #yycartist

Shaping the magic of the earth through mark making and color mixing transforms the way one sees the earth when going about daily activities. A walk through the woods is mesmerizing. Wandering through your garden brings hope. Staring up at the stars brings amazement. #emergingartist #artforwardinteriors #artistoninstagram #artforthehome #paintingoftheday #painting #artistfeature #artgram #supportartist #art #boldart #createeveryday #artinterior #yycart #yycartists #contemporaryart #canadianart #artgalleries #judyschmidt

Do you have scenes in your mind of places you’ve been that, as you look back, you recognize the power they’ve had in shaping the real you? The places and people that fostered truthful self expression regardless of popular opinion. There is not enough time in your life to be anything but authentic. #instadaily #life #arte #beauty#yycartists #canadianartists #galleries #likeforlikes #portrait #draw #photographer #fanart #instaart #artoftheday #instalike #contemporaryartists #contemporaryart#germanexpressionism #handmade #photoshoot #creative #likes #sketchbook #ink #fun#followforfollowback #naturephotography

There are people and places that build our courage and point us to a bright future. These are the steadfasts. The long haulers. The committed. The ones and the things that we can count on. The ones and the things that show up season after season.

She has courage for the the days ahead. She laughs easily and finds things to do to help ease the load for herself and others. She has seen and experienced a lot, and always finds her way back to love. #WIP 40x60 acrylic on canvas #yycartist #judyschmidt #yyclocal

Under layers. The foundation for the rest of the painting. 3 different perspectives. Many ways to see something. #artist #art #artwork #drawing #artistsoninstagram #painting #love #music #illustration #sketch #digitalart #photography #artoftheday #draw #instagood #instaart #instagram #design #arte #portrait #like #follow #germanartists #expressionism #contemporaryart #creative #beautiful #photo #nature #bhfyp

Small details of another work in progress. I like paintings where not everything is fully portrayed. Where the marks and colors evoke and where the viewer can make up the story in their own way. #yycartist #yycarts #expressionism #judyschmidtartist #artandinspiration

Work in progress! This is part of a series of 9 small figurative paintings on Stonehenge paper. I chose to lay down a pattern in paint rather than using patterned paper. This one is especially interesting as the pattern is suggestive. It fits reality in some places and in others it inspires some questions. #contemporary #exhibition #portrait #artsy #streetart #artecontemporanea #artforsale #creative #love #paint #artcurator #artcontemporain #visualart #sketch #mixedmedia #artcollectors #urbanart #abstractexpressionism #architecture #popart #paintings #instagood #figurativeart #arts #nature #yycartist #handmade #painter #draw

The lights of Christmas have now become the lights of home.

A steady place. A place where you go to feel the soil. To know your feet are on solid ground. To tune out the noise. To hear the whisper. 24x36 #wip for an exhibition when Covid is a distant memory

Standing with everyone today, to remember. Grateful and humbled. #remembering #lestweforget

Somewhere in all of my current works in progress you will feel the color orange. Color represents a feeling and allows for interpretation. This particular work in progress has transformed a lot during the last few months and has taken on a life of its own. Kind of like how our own lives have been transforming. #yycartist #yycartists #judyschmidt
