flower & japanese byobu inspired work ll, bubbles—iris. work-in-progress: it’s been rather hot out and i have been as sluggish as ever. so, i slowly moved to my canvas...the inspiration comes again from traditional japanese gold folding screen paintings, byobu. this time the flowers are the glorious irises i saw in koishikawa korakuen garden in tokyo many moons ago, but still float vividly in my mind—the luscious, varying shades of greens & purples under the warm sun. ahhh......✨🌸✨🌿✨ . . . . . . . #happywednesday #workinprogress #originalpainting #bubbles #bubblesseries #iris #irises #handpainted #byobu #inspired #nature #stayathome #gold #purple #green #watercolour #watercolor #canvas #positivevibes #newtraditional #loveart #wellnessart #abstractart #abstractpainting #jodisam https://www.instagram.com/p/CDPjHqOhzyp/?igshid=71ikxc11ocq0

✨cheers to the weekend!✨work-in-progress ll, bubbles—lotus, gold. not quite there yet, as there is always something that can be added, tweaked, and liven up so to say, especially when viewed in different lighting. sleeping on it helps, as well as taking stepping back and just breathing it all in. i paint first to calm the mind not only for myself, but for the viewer—that has always have been my goal, to create a moment of zen, joy and love. there’s stillness, peacefulness to be have around us. hope you feel it too! wishing you all a beautiful weekend!💓 . . . . . . . #happyweekend #workinprogress #originalpainting #bubbles #bubblesseries #lotus #gold #handpainted #inspired #nature #watercolour #watercolor #canvas #positivevibes #loveart #wellnessart #abstractart #momentofzen #zen #love #joy #calm #stillness #peacefulness #abstractpainting #vancouverarts #jodisam https://www.instagram.com/p/CCOhwsoBouj/?igshid=1p6mjr2no19yv

✨happy friday all!✨ work-in-progress, bubbles—lotus, gold. i must confess that i haven’t been as creative as i should be despite spending 99% of my time at home. but hey, it can only be so long until i finally pick up my paint brushes again! the inspiration comes from traditional chinese, japanese watercolour & ink paintings. they are sometimes painted on these beautiful golden paper or screens. the colours are ones i too myself painted with when i was a child and was inspired again back on a trip to adachi museum of art when i was visiting izumo shrine ⛩ in 2015—yes, this was 5 years in the making!🌸 . . . . . . . #happyfriday #workinprogress #originalpainting #bubbles #bubblesseries #lotus #handpainted #inspired #nature #stayathome #keepingbusy #gold #watercolour #watercolor #canvas #positivevibes #newtraditional #loveart #wellnessart #abstractart #abstractpainting #jodisam https://www.instagram.com/p/CBoMhoGBbDH/?igshid=1khh93et1n92o

✨happy friday everyone!✨ i usually don't post too much about pieces that have sold and gone to new homes, but decided that maybe i should share it a little more, especially this one, cause it's went to the perfectly fitting person that the painting was meant to go. so, here it is: "bubbles—turquoise" sold & gone off to a new home! 12" x 12" watercolour on canvas. a bit on the piece, which was part of my of gems & light birthstone series. turquoise is the birthstone of december. spiritually speaking, it's know as being an excellent communication stone, one of wisdom, truth, serenity/balance, creativity, compassion, and protection. and is a throat chakra stone. it's hard to tell from the photo, but i painted background with metallic gold, cause in some cases, there is gold pyrite specks found within turquoise. the bubbles themselves have different shades of turquoise too, to reflect what's colours of it that is found in nature. both the painting and i are sooo blessed. wishing you all a lovely weekend full of positive, loving vibes!✨💓✨🎨✨🏡✨ . . . . . #happyfriday #sold #originalpainting #ofgems&light #bubblesseries #bubbles #newhome #birthstone #gemstone #december #watercolour #watercolor #canvas #gold #turquoise #supportartists #wisdom #serenity #balance #creativity #throatchakra #meantotbe #positivevibes #lovingvibes #wellnessart #spiritual #spiritualart #blessed #loveart #jodisam https://www.instagram.com/p/B1hTOIyBbXD/?igshid=14ac8fdoz68s0

happy monday all and it’s holiday madness happening everywhere, as christmas is just 8 days away!✨🎄✨but amidst all of this, don’t forget to take a breath and breathe in some “serenity”. i chose my “bubbles—murasaki”, which means purple in japanese. i chose this painting for “serenity”, cause it’s warm and calming especially with touches of gold in the original painting.✨🔮✨💓✨ printed locally on vellum finished paper, because i love the soft texture it lends to the piece, and i hope you agree! part of my new “bubbles” series decorative print collection available matted @givinggiftsca @stockhomedesign_ in vancouver, and unmatted @willowandwallflower in portmoody . . . . . . #serenity #love #bubblesseries #escape #holidaymadness #bubbles #breathe #artprint #selfcare #selflove #positivevibes #delicate #decor #balanced #wellness #watercolour #art #giftideas #zen #calm #purple #gold #shoplocal #supportlocal #localartist #vancouver #vancity #yvr #portmoody #jodisam https://www.instagram.com/p/Brfxlk5hFVs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12ch6nnm2mlwi
