One of the "selfish" reason why I like to paint imagirany still life paintings I paint is because I secretly want to be an interior designer. I am serious! I used to have a huge stack of interior magazines and cutouts glued onto pieces of papers as my favorite interior scene collections. For me painting is a fantastic way to connect to the most magical place in my heart where I find joy. So in a sense I am marie-kondoing in my painting. Every piece of object in my painting sparks joy. Joy is the key word. Do you know why that is? Well, I will be sharing my deepest why very soon. Now I want you to find one thing or one memory that sparks joy in your heart. Share it with me if you want to! #findyourjoy #joyfator #secretreasonwhy #findyourwhys #whydoyoucreatwhatyoucreate #shareyourstories #storytelling #emikovenlet #oilpaintersofinstagram #vancouverartist #northvancouverartist #flowerarrangement #onlinegallery #buyartonline #onlinepresence #interiordesigner #interiormagazine #interiordesign #scandinavianinterior #northshorehome #westvancouverhome #artforrestaurant #tabletopstilllife #oilpaintingofstilllife #nostalgicpainting #stilllifepaintingofpoeonies #flowerandpoem #paintlikeapoet #successfulartist #artthasells (at North Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPuCRrtskE3/?utm_medium=tumblr
