Waiting Place... . . It's been a long project; It's a big canvas (it's 6ft tall/wide). I began it last semester, and finished it in Spring, Yee! https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDeJl8hPWJ/?igshid=op6cdq40tmsi

There are so things that bother me about this, but some people seem to think otherwise, and I appreciate their appreciation for for when I'm lacking it.

Sometimes I wish I could leave it - even after I've only just begun... So I capture the moment, save it forever to, and keep going. I have quite a few works to catch up on posting! _ _ _ #creativeprocess #sketch #progresspic #paintinginprogress #painting #watercolor #portrait #people #figuredrawing #flowers #floral #spring #artworld #art #artislife #artoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BvK6XU_lAvG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ryn05m5q0pe7

"Garden for a Soul" I painted this 6 months ago, and it's been in my living room since (it matches my couch wonderfully!)... but I suppose it's finally time for it to see the world _ _ _ #lowell #westmichigan #painting #watercolor #floral #portrait #garden #life #contemporaryart #semiabstract #artworld #artislife #art #pink #vibes (at LowellArts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuW05mbBoX2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1atip07lmmdq6

This is one of my favorite times of the year! Not only is it Autumn, when the trees are glowing vibrant colors as I wear my favorite scarves, hats and leg warmers, but it's also the time of the semester when we fire the wood kiln! I've come to love this so much, and it felt amazing to hop inside and unload it, layer by layer. Every time a kiln is opened, it's a little like Christmas morning 😊 . . . #ceramics #woodfire #woodkiln #kiln #pottery #autumn #artoninstagram #art #artcollective #creativeprocess (at WMU Frostic School of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-RLRXhS_n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fuoi6no5oa8b

Ya know that feeling...? Some moments it hits ya... It sneaks up while you be sitting in the library, or eating a tranquil breakfast... And when ya least expect it it's touch jolts your system... Awakening your senses to the memories of wonder... And ya just miss it. . . . . Thoughts on color: To me, orange is a color for adventure. It's a confident, exciting color. It is like a deep, inner passionate joy, while the more yellow it gets, the more child-like in it's wonder... Like what it was like to travel. . . #travel #adventure #italy #florence #studyabroad #memories #wonder #childlikewonder #creativeprocess #artworld #yellow #orange #thoughts #artislife #artistlife #artistoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXU5AfBi4d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1loqgxgqssdbz
