Sketching a Christmas chihuahua sipping hot cocoa in front of his fireplace. I’m hoping everyone is warm and cozy with their fur baby. #childrensbooks #illustration #sketching #christmas #chihuahua #chihuahuasofinstagram (at Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrKyaW3jAz3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bekjs8wq59cg

Been in a bit of an artistic block. Went to an amazing workshop with Tracy Verdugo and I feel that it cleared my slump. I learned to let the art flow. Had a wonderful time with amazing people. #artistsoninstagram @tracyverdugo #artisticblock #intuitiveart #amazingartist (at Louisiana)

Sometimes you just have to get your hands in the paint 🎨. Finger painting takes me back to pre-school when everything was an experiment. #fingerpainting #artistsoninstagram #experimental #acrylicpainting #artwork #intuitivepainting #playground (at Louisiana)

Playing around with some vibrant paint. Trying to spruce up my color pallet for Spring. What’s your favorite color for Spring? #spring #colourful #vibrationalhealing #intuitivepainting #pleinair #abstractart #acrylicpainting #artistsoninstagram #louisianalife #naturalbeauty #palletknife #moss (at Louisiana)

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that capture my imagination. This moss attached to a fallen tree branch looks like an alien life form. I love the texture and the neutral colors camouflage it well. Well done Mother Nature! Inspiration is everywhere. #mothernature #artistsoninstagram #inspiration #enjoythelittlethings #moss #acrylicpainting #louisianalife #louisianaartist #designspiration (at Louisiana)

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.” - Maya Angelou Blank canvases always take courage. #newbeginnings #intuitiveart #blankcanvas #carveoutimeforart #artistsoninstagram #artwork #louisianaartist #acrylicpainting #sacredart #courage #mayaangelou (at Louisiana)

Spring has arrived in Louisiana. It’s a welcome sign from nature that warmer days are ahead. That means more outdoor painting. #nature #mothernature #bud #chartreuse #warmweather #artinspiration #spring (at Louisiana)

Love me some Bob Ross. Did anyone else spend their Saturday mornings digging his art? Happy little trees... (at Louisiana)

Super excited to view my newest painting in an actual room. This is my version of the Tree of Life inspired by Gustav Klimt. It shows the wise owl, pomegranates and layered depths of the tree. Prints will be available soon. #painting #goldleaf #art #artistsoninstagram #treeoflife #klimt #wiseowl #pomegranate #pomegranateseeds #interiordesign #designerlife #illustrator #louisianamuseum #louisianaartist (at Louisiana)

When the kids are away, mom will play. I had a wonderful time painting today. Love it when I have a few moments to myself. #nokids #artistsoninstagram #carveouttimeforart #pomegranate #pomegranateseeds #interiordesign #instaart #illustratoroninstagram #designerlife #momlife #surfacedesign #illustrationoftheday (at Louisiana)

After many changes, I’ve finished my mixed media piece for our local Mardi Gras Art Gala. Let it fly is the theme. What should I name it?

My painting partner, a precious chihuahua, is hiding out in a blanket because of the cold weather. Instead of where’s Waldo, it’s Donde esta Cesar Chavez? Maybe we’ll paint tomorrow. #whereswaldo #cesarchavez #painting #chihuahuasofinstagram #chihuahualove #coldoutside #warmblanket #spanish #mexicandog (at Louisiana)

Super excited to be starting this freezing new year off working on my new painting “Snow Bird on a Full Moon”. I’m editing the colors in Photoshop and prints will be available soon in my new website! What’s your one goal to start in 2018? #2018goals #photoshop #snowbird #art #artwork #artistsoninstagram #newyear #abstractart #intuitiveartist #impressionism #goldleaf #artprints #purplehaze #birdsofinstagram (at Louisiana)

This is my favorite part of the painting process. You think you have the painting perfect and the you add a messy layer over it. Somehow it turns out even more amazing than you can imagine when you surrender. #painting #mixmedia #intuition #surrealism #surrender #art #artistsoninstagram #intuitiveart #louisiana #louisianaartist #acrylic #abstractart #impressionism #interiordesign #designer #illustration #messyfun (at Louisiana)

Fresh paint feels good. Sometimes when you don’t feel like painting it’s great to push yourself. I already see what these are going to be.
