How to forget what you were just thinking about.
Real world examples! With real world results in just three steps! First, have kids. It’s not a requirement but it certainly helps! I don’t have kids but I forget all the time, rest assured 👍👌 Second, start first thing in the morning. The earlier the better. Third, I forget. Just kidding. Third, start remembering the…

Why didn’t I think of this before?
So, I’m definitely one for discovery. I just don’t know why it didn’t occur to me months ago to take a course on painting. In school, we were taught how to use oils and the ways they functioned, but never specific techniques. It was up to you to “explore” the paint and ideas and crap…

I once heard…
Never to use complimentary colours together in a painting. It was a shock because they’re like, complementary! Well, I wasn’t shocked so much as I was like, huh. Not huh? Just, huh. It creates too much competition for your eyes it is said though. I suppose you could bend that rule. You would just have…

Fruit Loops
Since beginning my still life journey, I have bought a lot of fake fruit. Like, a lot. The problem is that I don’t have a lot of room to set up a proper still life arrangement. *Sad face* I didn’t think this through very well. But, nothing will stop this girl from achieving her goals.…

Dear friend,
Between managing my social media, starting my own business and working on my art, life hasn’t been so bad actually. I guess. Sometimes, I find myself underselling my abilities and I have to stop and reschedule those thoughts. Creativity is a skill. I wrestle with this sort of (I think) because some days it comes…

Why I don’t paint with watercolour
Except if it’s for my mom. So, I love painting in watercolour, it’s a lovely medium to work with but when it comes to selling, it gets a bit murky. See, people are picky about their art. And they’re even more picky about the frame. So you can imagine jumping the hurdle of first selling…

I try to start my day with Pinterest because omg people are so creative and it’s so inspiring. I try not to reinvent the wheel with painting, but it just feels kinda wrong to copy. You copy for a reason but still… Anywho…
