It's The Little Things

Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one. ~Stella Adler

Painting by candlelight as per usual tonight: but tonight the light is extra special. It was Grandmothers candle that was gifted to me on our recent visit to Manitoba. #itsthelittlethings #family #painting #watercolor #familyfirst ♥️

My favourite bit of advice I read today on a new year, for myself and for you. ♥️🥂✨#happynewyear2018 #cheers "I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it. Make your mistakes, this new year and forever." ~Neil Gaiman
