Hey all you lovelies in Los Angeles! And friends far and wide who know people in LA who might want to come see my paintings in conjunction with Alex Backstrom's book launch and installation inspired by Jack Kerouac's book "On The Road" that I also loved doing voice over work for. I'm excited to have the opportunity to share some more of my work with you. Come hang with us, drink some wine, and support artists!

My family minus my brother, walking around the Warner Bros. lot after a screening of the film Going In Style that I worked on with my pops. The four musketeers reflected on a set from Pushing Daisies. So fun to watch the film in Jack Warners original screening room. The film is so good. @rodneykiwi @zachbraff look forward to it's release! ❤️✨🎥 #screening #goinginstyle #warnerbrothers #family #familytime #love

Up at 5:30am this time. Is it that five planets are in retrograde? Haha. Been painting, glueing and hammering a huge piece on paper 5ft 5" x 4ft to a large oak frame and structure I designed with an awesome guy at Anawalt lumber (love that place) to keep it safe without glass or plexi for an Art Show/ Book release on May 14th! So much glue, nails, paint and fabulous arty mess I had to strip down to my undies to keep from staining my clothes. Sometimes you gotta be risqué to peak people's interest in art. Haha 🙃✨🖌💗 #artshow #artistslife #artistatwork #love #artgallery #artbymaycharters #maycharters #painting #framing #artoftheday 💗🖌✨

Sketching away for the children's book Lo Lo Sausage I'm working on. She goes to the zoo and eats fish and chips with her new friends. Would love to do that haha. Love disappearing into this world figuring out what everyone will look like. ❤️ #childrensbook #kidlit #illustration #love #lolosausagebook #sketching #art #artwork #characterdesign #animals #lion #monkey #parrot #illustrator #kidsbooks #maycharters

The cherry trees are in bloom right now in Stockholm. Wish I was there but happy I could see them last year spending the best day photographing them for hours.

After painting and drawing all day finishing work for a children's book and an upcoming art show the muse has kept me going to paint my eyes and do make-up testing for an upcoming film shoot. Cause you gotta keep the creative fires burning no matter what and not feel ashamed to post a selfie. 😉 😂 😘💙 Meet Alexis. An undercover cop working at a Lancaster bar with a secret weighing heavy on her heart. Didn't think I'd ever like blue eyeshadow haha #makeuptest #filmmaking #filming #actress #selfiesunday #shortfilm #carpediem #keepgoing #workhard #messyhair #charactermakeup #character #characterday #passionate #followyourpassion 🖌✨🎥

Laying the ground work on a new piece. I take so many pictures of flowers on my walks around the world and wish I could paint them in the moment plein air. But then going through the images sparks my imagination of those special secret spots in a garden path where love blooms in the shadows. 💚 #workinprogress #garden #painting #art #arte #flowerpainting #paintitblack #roses #peonies #newwork #artshow #painter #artoftheday #backatit #artbymaycharters #art_spotlight #artcollector #artcollective #artforsale #dailypainting #interiordesign

#fbf to Tuesday visiting my favorite modeling agency @freedommodelsla to chat about projects and the possibility of using their space for my upcoming art show. Perfect that it was a gallery in the past. @maia_freedommodels and Monica you ladies rock. And I'm in LOVE with this little man! #dachshund #doglove #earthday #artshow #freedommodels #losangeles #artistslife ❤️🖌

Getting wiggy testing wigs for an upcoming shoot. Maybe not the right one for the project but oh so much fun haha. All I need is a flower wreath in my hair and I could still go to Coachella 😂 or play Mary Pickford 🎥❤️ #production #filming #preproduction #wig #acting #actress #workinghardnomatterwhat #GIRLZ #shortfilm #comingsoon #losangeles #darkhair #magic #filmmaking #love #hairtest #wigtest #wip

Using that wild motion picture app. So surreal to see yourself at 3yrs old move. Even though it's a bit wonky haha it totally takes me back. #tbt #wild #throwback #motionpicture #surreal #magic #filmisnotdead

Sadly my fabulous Jeep ( I named her Fiji 😂haha that has taken me across the country many times full of camera gear to shoot a feature film and back again. Carried me all over Los Angeles and held my large canvases with care has now died after 16 years of love. Not sure my next move and will be sad to see the old girl go. But walking this fine city of LA let's you see things you never would from your car. The ROSES are in bloom in abundance and beauty with an aroma so intoxicating they are perfect muses for new paintings and symbols for a fond farewell to a jeep well loved 😂😞💞🌹🚙💔✨😘 #walkabout #hancockpark #roses #inbloom #farewell #jeep #newchapter #flowerlover #flowers #vsco #vscocam #rose #love #igers

Work in progress watercolor study for a bigger piece I will do for an upcoming art show. The fabulously handsome @mrrutherford9 Eric you have always had the best hair, the warmest heart and soul I have ever had the privilege to know, to act opposite and paint your portrait many moons ago. Now for a new one ;) #portrait #portraitpainting #watercolor #wip #art #artshow #goforit #artbymaycharters #artist #arte #ericrutherford #watercolour #artwork #painting #painter #maycharters 🖌💙
