These mini paintings I love for getting the therapeutic benefits of painting without having to commit to the time a larger one can take. I did this in 20 min or so in acrylic which I don’t like typically for larger paintings but is great for these minis. Sky and water are also perfect subject matter for when you are stressed. Simple, colorful and anything goes. Reflect the same colors you put in the sky to the water, add a horizon and done! 4x4 acrylic on canvas.
The herbs here are mimosa, yarrow and hawthorn all used for soothing and healing a stressed and tormented heart both emotionally and physically.
Hope everyone is taking some time to rest today or do something that restores you! ✌️❤️🌱🎨 @campmakewell

Getting back to my roots of painting. My first love and one of my few healthy ways I have to deal with all that comes with being a sensitive creative soul. Blending oils in a sky is so calming to me. Watching the colors come together and go from separate to softly blended, the empowerment of being able to create a world that didn’t previously exist that I choose everything about...Art is therapy. ✌️💜 *9x12 oil on wood

Happy 8th Birthday to my not so little baby girl. I pray I’m good enough to teach you what you need to know, and that I can help make this world a better place for you...but if not... I hope you know how much I love you and that that is enough. I am grateful for the privilege to be your mama. ❤️

Thankful for a week at the beach with the whole fam. ❤️

A couple oldie but goodies of my baby. Missing her today but she’s having lots of fun with daddy. Happy 4th y’all.

It’s a stormy time in our country right now. I am constantly afraid, sad, and standing with my mouth open in disbelief of what’s happening. Mostly because that seems to be what Trump wants for us all, and it’s the only thing he’s actually good at. But he is just a symptom of a greater problem we must deal with. Hate, division, anger, a need for drama and somewhere to put our fear have always lay beneath the surface. He just gave it all a legitimate platform and threw fuel on the fire.
So today I choose to not let the storm overtake. Today I choose to acknowledge the peace and independence that so many have fought for us to have. I believe eventually we will get back to our country’s sense of ethical responsibility, our ability to overcome our differences, and the democracy our forefathers intended for us to have. But only if we fight for it as so many have done before. #independanceday
