"You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have." - Maya Angelou

Welcome to my oasis of creativity. I hope you will find inspiration and curiosity while exploring here. My mission is for you to think about creativity and how you can apply it in your life.

I don’t care what type of artist you are, or if you think you aren’t an artist. Creativity lives in all of us from traditional methods of art to problem-solving by thinking outside the box. You are all welcome here and I look forward to seeing how we can inspire each other!

More ornaments in the first stages of painting. I picked a fifth color to add to the mix, the light green ones. I'm still figuring out the design but I am loving the lighter color. #handmadechristmas #ornaments #christmas2024

So last week I teased I was working on something new and here it. Hand painted ornaments. I spent the last weekend working on these ornaments at a craft retreat. I was preparing to let you all know that these were for sale. However, the ladies at the retreat blew me away, and I sold nearly all of them. So I am back painting a few more in my studio and will have them for sale when the second batch is done. There will be a couple of other shapes (circles and bells) and maybe a second color palette depending on how it goes! Thanks to @thepigeonletters for hosting a fantastic workshop on painting these a couple weeks ago. You really kicked my butt into gear. Peggy has hers available on her website today...they WILL sell out because they are fabulous. So if you want one...don't snooze on it. I got a tangerine one. #handmadechristmas #ornaments #2024 #createeveryday #acrylagouache

Last night, I participated in @erikabeeswax Patreon live stream of timed veggie paintings. After the stream, I went back in and added some more gouache and finished the paintings off by using my favorite Indigo Prismacolor. My favorite is the last still life. I was getting into a groove with the paintings just as the session ended. The final picture is the supplies I used minus the brushes and my stay wet palette. #patreon #erikabeeswaxpatreon #flynncrafthouse #acrylagouache #prismacolor #creativeplay #createeveryday #artistherapy
