Quarantine has given me a decent amount of time to practice my art✨ I finished this one the other day, 8"x10", watercolor. I'm in the process of getting my Etsy shop up and running, but I'm actually thinking about selling this one (prints or the original)... Anyway, mandalas are my favorite thing to paint or draw. They bring much needed structure to my life. If you enjoy this piece, message me! #supportlocalartists #mandala #mandalaart #watercolor #coloradoartist (at Louisville, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QfLzsBp8A/?igshid=v6gk7xtvpjmv

When hard times come I try to remember what I'm thankful for The things and people in my life that make me feel grateful I'm grateful for my home, for my job, for my dog, for my friends and family, for chances to pursue my art, for new opportunities with each new day, for sunrises, for the cool breeze, for the stars, for The Beatles, for first kisses, for falling rain (and snow too), for color all around me, for the coming spring, for clean air and water, for Nahko for the heart in my chest-- beating begging for the ache of change I haven't yet tasted, longing for the wonders of new pain, fresh wounds and blinding stars for the fears I've yet to face, the pasts I've yet to process, the tears I've yet to cry, the ones I've yet to know I'm grateful for you✨ . #quARTantineChallenge #day6 #gratefulness #mandala #watercolor #weareontime #nahkoandmedicineforthepeople #everycompassneedsanorthstar #poem #poetry #30daysofart #artisthemovement #covidartchallenge20 #covid19 #beachart https://www.instagram.com/p/B-D7eNMhJCl/?igshid=wa8edatv4dsz

Day 3 of the #quARTantineChallenge: Hope. Two things that bring me hope in hard times are words and music. And colors and art. Anyway I was inspired by the way music makes me feel and lyrics that share different kinds of hope with us. . Featured lyrics from "I Hope You Dance" by LeeAnn Womack "Gives You Hell" by The All-American Rejects "PSGFY" by Griz "Imagine" by John Lennon "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie . Happy art-ing, dear friends✨ good vibes to you all❤️ #covidartchallenge20 #30daysofart #hope #wordart #words #lyrics #music #artisthemovement https://www.instagram.com/p/B98U2XXhTBa/?igshid=1it1cwzfkl4w2

I had an extremely vivid dream last night that I travelled to the Himalayas with some family and some random people and jetlagged me stayed up all night to watch an indescribable orange sunrise over the glorious peaks...makes me think that better times are coming😊 . Like two seconds later in my dream though, 35 people in the tour group I was with crawled into some tunnels and were crushed to death by the sentient earth so🤔 dreams are hard to read. . Neither here nor there, I just don't have vivid dreams often and they always make me think about what my mind is trying to tell me.

Finally finished this😍 . This painting started as...an emotional piece. I painted the background in one of the most depressed times of my life 2 years ago. Since then I always thought the style had an "Upside Down" feel to it. So I finally added Eleven and the Demogorgon and turned my pain into some cool fanart. . Happy Monday! #strangerthings #breakups #art #painting #eleven #011 #demogorgon #fanart #silhouette #beautyinpain https://www.instagram.com/p/BtxOEfXlnGf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17sqxkm0a25g0
