New Soul Portrait This portrait was a challenge to capture, the facial expressions have been the most time consuming but the most rewarding. I was really happy how her smile turned out, it really brings out the incredible light this beautiful woman shines . Todays piece brings inner peace and balance, a perfect union. One cannot exist without the other. If our heart is not at ease our mind tends to get all scrambled. If our mind is not at rest out hearts will feel the w...eight. Yet if you find the balance between the two and come to find equilibrium, the answers shall come with a new new light into your life. What brings you inner peace and balance ? #oladesign #customportrait #soulportrait #feminineenergy #womenempowerment #connectionwithnature #mothergaia #soulsister #islandgirl #hawaiilove #oceandress #oceandream #waterspirit #oneofakindart #floralpainting #saltysoul #mandalaart #bcartist #westcoastliving #pacificnorthwestart #spiritualgrowth

Mother’s Day Sale!

This piece was painted on a much bigger size paper, allowing me to create more in-depth details with the hair and the clothing. One of my favourite things to add into the dresses I do is scenery to really capture that feeling of being connected with nature. #oladesign #soulportrait #spiritguides #spiritualawakening #custommade #naturelovers #animallovers #raven #originalart #feminineenergy #womenempowerment #customportrait #supportlocal #bcartist #westcoastartist #womenownedbusiness #frog #colourofnature

New Original https://www.oladesign.ca/products/blue-bell-print/ This little birdie was a lot of fun to paint. I was so entranced by working on the small details that I didnt even notice how the day flew by!... Its interesting how we perceive time when we are in the midst of striving towards a goal, project, or accomplishment. Everything seems to slip away and you hone in on whats important important in that moment, and hours seem to turn into minutes or sometimes even seconds. Share in the comments what brings you into that stare of mind, what favourite pastimes makes you lose track of time? #oladesign #pastime #projects #bcartist #watercolour #paintingoftheday #localartist #smallbusinessowner #womeninbusiness #bird #birdlovers #naturelovers #flowers #flowerarrangement #followyourpassion #whimsical #originalart #whimsicalart #vibrantcolors

New Original I have been working on some new ideas recently and was quite inspired by all the different fungi kingdoms. They truly are fascinating to learn about, sharing some of the largest networks underground they pass along information to each other. Certain species are even compared to human beings , with their incredible level of communication. What do you love about mushrooms? ... #oladesign #mushroomart #magicmushrooms #squirrellove #paintingoftheday #watercolourpainting #bcartist #womeninbusiness #kingdom #funghilovers #nature #naturelovers #redcap #foresttherapy #artistsoninstagram #originalart #plants

Celebration Today marks Imbolc in Ireland, a traditional festival celebrating the beginning of Spring. Imbolc, in the Celtic seasonal calendar marks the start of the lambing season and signals the beginning of Spring and the stirrings of new life. The original word Imbolg means 'in the belly'. All is pregnant and expectant - and only just visible if at all, like the gentle curve of a 'just-showing' pregnancy. It is the promise of renewal, of hidden potential, of earth awa...kening and life-force stirring. We welcome the growth of the returning light and witness Life's insatiable appetite for rebirth. It is time to let go of the past and to look to the future, clearing out the old, making both outer and inner space for new beginnings. This can be done in numerous ways, from spring cleaning your home to clearing the mind and heart to allow inspiration to enter for the new cycle. Imbolc is traditionally the great festival and honouring of Brigid (Brighid, Bride, Brigit), . She is a Goddess of healing, poetry and smithcraft. She is a Goddess of Fire, of the Sun and of the Hearth. She brings fertility to the land and its people and is closely connected to midwives and new-born babies. She is the Triple Goddess, but at Imbolc she is in her Maiden aspect. This commission piece I did last year shares a similar story. Portraying the radiance of a mother to be, and the beginning of something so beautiful. #oladesign #miracle #miracleoflife #birth #imbolc #womeninbusiness #womensupportingwomen #nature_brilliance #motherhood #motherearth #watercolourillustration #handpainted #bcartist #smallbusiness #child #newborn #divinefeminine #naturalbeauty #celebrationoflife #goddessenergy

New Print Available Buy online : https://www.oladesign.ca/products/kambo-print/ Im personally not a big fan of traditional medicines and have sought more natural options over the years. My family and I have tried different things to improve our health, including : superfoods, ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopaths, Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, and more. One of the very effective medicines for me has been Kambo . Have you ever tried it, and if not, what non traditiona...l medicines have worked for you? Kambo is a traditional sacred medicine used by many of the tribes of the upper Amazon rainforest. Kambo is a very safe and legal secretion that is collected from the Phyllomedusa Bicolor (Kambo) frog. The frogs are never harmed during this process and are returned to their natural habitat. Kambo cleanses us of the toxins, negative energies, suppressed emotions, and physical issues that keep us in poor health and out of alignment with our true self. Kambo will give your entire body a deep cleansing and reset, connecting you back to your spirit and higher purpose. #oladesign #localmade #bcartist #handpainted #green #treefrogs #frog #paintingoftheday #watercolours #womeninbusiness #animallovers #rainforestalliance #rainforest #hopping #whimsicalart #naturelovers #wildlifeaddicts #treehuggers #medicine

My new friend Ember has joined me this year in my studio. It has been quite an eventful couple of months with our kitty, forming a bond with him took time but has been so rewarding once we got to know each other. Building new relationships is always exciting. You have your moments of frustration and impatience but you always remember the laughter, playing together and sharing in the bliss. This little guy is always keeping me entertained . Do you have a companion? ... #oladesign #print #womanownedbusiness #bcartist #localartist #bird #catlife #bengalcat #spotted #petsofinstagram #greeneyes #fridaymotivation #friendship #kittycat

New Print Available I am thrilled to share my newest piece and along with it a new style of prints that I will be offering. The new image can come with or without the quote. I would love to hear your thoughts and what else you would like to see accompanied with my future paintings!... The first quote is written by my lovely husband, he has always had such a fantastic way with words and creating poetry. It does not take strength to face your fears. Strength is what is given. And dont be fooled by how cute and plump these creatures are. Badgers may look like easy prey for some hunters but they are formidable and smart when they need to be. They love to burrow and look for roots and herbs, making them excellent treasure hunters. This is commonly translated into The Revealer , letting us know that its time to stop hiding those parts of us that we are always afraid to show to others. These animals symbolize patience, diligence, enthusiasm and assurance. #oladesign #watercolourpainting #bcartist #womanownedbusiness #smallbusiness #localartist #naturelovers #animallovers #wildlifeaddicts #badger #paintingoftheday #brushstrokes #originalart #whimsy #colourful #cuteanimals #cutecritters #plantation #artistsoninstagram #quotes #illustrationwithwords
