New Paintings

Hello Friends! I have a handful of new paintings in the works & wanted to share these two w/ you. They're almost done. I took a few of my wood pieces I wasn't in love with & blasted them with the power sander. I started to see these dreamy scenes unfolding & am much-much happier. Right now my hands are still humming from the power sander & I kinda like it (+.-)

In other news: Over the past month (my how time flies) I've been directing 90% of my creative energy toward our nest -- re-painting rooms, moving furniture around, turning our space into something light & bright & even more welcoming than before. I've been going through all the "stuff" I've collected over the years & have freed up so much S P A C E. Taking this time to go through my life has been good & it's forced me to get clear about a lot of things. I wrote about 10,0000000 words.... half of which got lost during a storm. Ah, such freedom in letting go -- even things held dear.

Be on the lookout for new artwork to start blooming from this soul cleanse. And a sale.... Time to let go... Time to make v-rooooom... Time to ride this Wild Life from the handlebars!

  1. Love, love, love Carissa. Loving the colors you used, the peeks of polka dots on the one on the left, and the expression on her face. Fabulous. Isn't it freeing to let go of stuff, get rid of the unnecessary, and rearrange? It is so refreshing. :)
