AML Creative

I knit and crochet (a lot). I write(a little). I paint (sometimes). Take a look at what I'm creating in my spare time!

And over two years later...I'm still working on this dang blanket. I love it but...gah. #crochet #crocheted #crochetedblanket #chunkyyarn #yarnaddict #yarnaholic

Close-up of a #workinprogress from this evening!

This is...probably the 4th time I've used this canvas...mostly failures. But I like how this is turning out. :) #repurpose #workinprogress . . . . . . . #meditation #art #artist #artistic #artwork #painting #acrylicpaint #acrylics #acrylicpainting #acrylicpaintings #acrylicart #acrylicartist #acryliconcanvas #painter #mnartist #abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractexpressionism #abstractogram #mixedmediaart #instaart #modernart #wallart #originalartwork #loveart #lovepainting #doitfortheprocess #creativeprocess

I have two easels, and yet...I prefer to paint on the floor...or propped up against my leg...haha My "#studio" is partially my desk, and partially our living room. I'd love for it to be bigger; to have a studio in the Casket Arts building in Northeast Minneapolis, or heck...even a garage or basement where I could splatter paint and complete immerse myself. I hope that one of those things (though I anticipate it will be the basement or garage bit...haha) will happen at some point. Until then, I do what I can, with what I have. ❤❤❤ . . . . . . . #meditation #art #artist #artistic #artwork #painting #acrylicpaint #acrylics #acrylicpainting #acrylicpaintings #acrylicart #acrylicartist #acryliconcanvas #painter #mnartist #abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractexpressionism #abstractogram #mixedmediaart #instaart #modernart #wallart #originalartwork #loveart #lovepainting #doitfortheprocess #creativeprocess

And I think this one is done! Loved the process of #impasto work, even if it was torturous to wait for each layer to dry enough to do the next...😆 . . . . . . #flowerart #meditation #art #artist #artistic #artwork #painting #acrylicpaint #acrylics #acrylicpainting #acrylicpaintings #acrylicart #acrylicartist #acryliconcanvas #painter #mnartist #abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractexpressionism #abstractogram #mixedmediaart #instaart #modernart #wallart #originalartwork #finishedproduct #lovepainting #doitfortheprocess #creativeprocess

Close-up of the work I was doing while waiting for layers on another work to dry. Paint, sponge, and glitter glue (from the dollar store...😆). This is what my weekend looks like, and that makes me very happy. . . . . . . . #meditation #art #artist #artistic #artwork #painting #acrylicpaint #acrylics #acrylicpainting #acrylicpaintings #acrylicart #acrylicartist #acryliconcanvas #painter #mnartist #abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractexpressionism #abstractogram #mixedmediaart #instaart #modernart #wallart #originalartwork #loveart #lovepainting #doitfortheprocess #creativeprocess

Good morning, lovelies!

Yep, random is challenging.

Next up: #dahlia on linen #canvas. Only way I could get the #texture I was looking for was to apply the #paint and #acrylicmedium was to use a plastic spoon...😂 . . . . . . . #art #artist #artistic #artwork #painting #acrylicpaint #acrylics #acrylicpainting #acrylicpaintings #acrylicart #acrylicartist #acryliconcanvas #painter #mnartist #instaart #wallart #originalartwork #loveart #lovepainting #doitfortheprocess #creativeprocess
