Trying to keep my workspace clean 🧼 🧹 💜 - I have a small studio space so it’s really important to keep it tidy or else I won’t be very productive. 😸 . . . #artistinthestudio #artiststudios #artrooms #artistroom #artspaces #artists_sharing #artshares #acrylicpaintingartist #gouachepaintings #gouacheartist #acrylicgouache #gouacheart #artstudiolife #artstudio_post #studioplants #craftroomorganization #indoorplantsofinstagram (at Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BurkZLgFmAF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sr3n7dyeucb7

Painting # 3: This one is inspired by both Dali & Matisse. The drapery is meant to resemble a water fall with the goldfish swimming up it. - Dali’s Figure & Drapery in a Landscape (1934), The Feeling of Becoming (1931), Daddy Longlegs of the Evening-Hope! (1940) & Matisse’s The Goldfish (1912) inspired this painting. - Swipe left to see the references ☺️🖼 . . . #goldfishart #paintingseries #draperystudy #popsurrealart #fishpainting #lowbrowpopsurrealism #surrealists https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsd0OGwFopL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rlwjarbf97xe

Painting # 2: This one is inspired by 2 paintings of Henri Matisse. - Portrait of Lydia Delectorskaya, 1947 & Seated Odalisque, 1922 - Swipe left to see both references ☺️🖼 . . . #portraitpaintings #contrastart #surrealportrait #popsurrealart #primarycolorscombo #weirdartist #lowbrowpopsurrealism https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbaaAllzQr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kunvv7j5akca

This is Painting # 1 of my college final & it was inspired by Salvador Dali. ⏰ - The project was to take two artists of your choice, one that you had an affinity with & one you had an aversion with, then combine the style/techniques of the artists plus your own. (If that makes sense lol) - I chose Dali & Henri Matisse; however, I’ve grown to quite like Matisse’s work because they are so colorful and expressive. Of course I love Dali for his surrealism and smooth/polished surfaces, so I tried to include both of those aspects in all of these paintings. 🤗 . . . #collegeartist #artmajors #salvadordaliart #matisseinspired #surrealartwork #vibrantart https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTbPtUlhrp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bx9o9q5uiiqp

A painting I did yesterday 🤗 I’m proud of myself for finishing it in one day! I usually procrastinate doing it for a week or I start and don’t like it so I won’t finish it at all 😖 - Could anyone tell me how they deal with procrastination with creating?

Here’s Instagram’s top nine posts vs. my personal nine favorite artworks I’ve done in 2018. - I was surprised to see some of my older works that I did at the beginning of the year when I just started to take my art more seriously. - All of this year I’ve been trying to find my way into being an artist. I’ve done a lot of experimenting with art styles, mediums, and ways to share my art to the world. - It has been a rough year for me because I’ve decided I want to be a full time artist; however, this journey turned out to be way more difficult that I ever thought. - I am not able to support myself from my art, I still have a very small following, and I don’t have a definite plan of action. But I do know I am so incredibly grateful for those of you that did follow my work and I can see it slowly growing, and that makes me want to keep pushing through. - In 2019, I want to give my all into growing as an artist and sharing my passion to as many people as I can. I want to show more of the process of building an art career, what I’ve gone through, and things that I’ve learned. Hopefully this will be helpful for artists just starting out and make there journey a little bit easier ☺️ . . . #top92018 #topnineof2018 #2018bestnineinstagram #instagram2018 (at Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEOfqEF4a6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6g5fp50qbmyz

I finally cleaned out 🧹 my paint brush jar & this is what I have left 👌🏼😌 • My favorite brushes to use are The Da Vinci Junior Synthetic Brushes. They are affordable yet work really well and have lasted me a long time. • Whenever I buy really cheap brushes they either break, hairs will fall off into my painting, or will easily fray 😓 • Daler-Rowney Brushes is a great inexpensive brand as well 👍🏽 . . . #paintbrushes #paintingsupplies #artphotograph #stilllifephotographer #artistsupplies https://www.instagram.com/p/Br8eoNKlfzM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d4lm6ur6nqs
