I faltered in the last session of this where there was no turning back, so it´s not perfect...oops. I got emotional. I've forgiven myself, and years ago I made a vow to myself to always finish things I start because that's important to me. The truth is, I can do hyperrealism, that´s not actually the agitation. Hyper realistic drawings are a much different ride. Which just to prove my point to myself will likely be what my mind wants to do next... The fear of perfect expectations stems from trauma...because... I don't want to disappoint anyone... I wasn't a good enough daughter to save my mother. I wasn't perfect enough to save the men I love. I wasn't perfect enough when I showed up for you when you asked. I wasn't perfect enough for you to show up for me when I asked... and it goes on and on until I'm usually far enough into nature where there's no judgement and I can finally just cry for hours because holy sh&% is it a lot to carry around, being perfect. So here's the non-perfect version, becoming the perfect version.... • • • • • #sketch #draw #pencil #sketchbook #instaart #painting #compassion #timelapse #southwest #colored #timelapsevideo #artsy #pencildrawing #paintparty #artoftheday #igsouthwest #creative #instaartist #graphic #artclass #artwalk #paper #drawer #drawings #paint #coloredpencils #watercolor #paints (at Sedona, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIUPqnVg2hy/?igshid=1m566d8jaul6

I have this one now listed in the shop! --> daniellapaints.com <--- use code: loveyourfriends for 20% off your purchase until 2021 <3 I honestly appreciate all of the support I've been recieving with every ounce of my heart! This one was about listening for me. Or perhaps, at times, the lack thereof. Soon are humans to respond with words, plans, opinions, promises, noise, without letting the silence settle what really needs to be communicated. Can we listen before we speak, please? https://www.instagram.com/p/CIb_GkuMuV-/?igshid=1kx8k1lhvyxes

Prints are coming! Prints are coming! I feel so blessed to have SO many inquiries for prints! I love making art, and I love making art for YOU. If you want to support me, and what I am building and creating through my artwork (more on that in the very near future ☝️) then know the economy I am creating is as sustainable, beautiful and aware as possible and that your purchase and relationship with me will actually continue to create space(s) in alignment with those values and relationships. SO I FINALLY have found a printer who prints archival/museum quality prints (meaning they'll last upwards of 100+ years) and on HEMP based Hanamuhle paper (meaning that it will break down completely leaving no trace when the time comes) and the reproduction looks identical to the original ! Because the printing press was a piece of ART and innovation, and paper making is ALSO an artform that allows us to in-novate. #artistsoninstagram #artprints #finerworks #printing #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CH0SbiVhAVL/?igshid=17z9jym1ujnq

Prints are Coming, Prints are Coming!

Prints are coming! Prints are coming! I feel so blessed to have SO many inquiries for prints! I love making art, and I love making art for YOU. Beauty and Awareness are of my top 3 highest values, and so because I can't, even if I wanted to, try and stop doing my art, its taken me a long time to figure out how to make it available to the people that connect with it, and internationally, because ultimately that's why I do it, it completes the circuit 🔍💞 I've most often sold originals and done commissions, and its taken me a L-O-N-G time to sift through this whole drop-shipping, dark web of a game on the internet. And I've felt every single part of the exploration, emotionally, physically and psychially. I've taught English to children missing fingers in Asia, and have witnessed first hand what cheap reproduction on mass scale does to society, communities, and the world at large, and as much as I love innovation (maybe #4 on my values list) I haven't really wanted to be a part of it because it's so deeply confu sed with enterprise and consumption. I don't do art because its convenient and selling art isn't convenient either. Therefore I refuse to engage in platforms that preach convenience in exchange for profit and product. However, I can't ignore my belief that art matters and the fact that people want and need to connect in that way. SO Read the full article

Preconceived ideas eliminate our wonder, but I do know that at least one thing never changes, https://www.instagram.com/p/CEaInVpFF_A/?igshid=1s3jz1oc9tvxx

The way forward is to trace the images backward starting from our dreams, #wip #ink #beentheredonethat https://www.instagram.com/p/CEfL2i4lLkw/?igshid=1h3357agzagdu

I had early childhood training with grizzly bears. The deeper the aggression that comes towards me the firmer I will stand in love. Maybe one day soon they'll meet in the middle. • • • • #painting #sketch #instaart #contemporaryart #fineart #draw #artoftheday #instaartist #arte #sketchbook #artgallery #creative #artsy #doodle #illustrator #gallery #modernart #ink #pencil #abstract #watercolor #oilpainting #fineartphotography #digitalart #graphic #paint #abstractart #artistic #painter #artcollector https://www.instagram.com/p/CFA2jkVFN1L/?igshid=cub9e276td0v
