What a year (or just over) it's been since starting something I never knew could bring so much to my life! I've had a lot of fun figuring all this out as I go and learning much more than I ever expected to. Paint types, mediums, differences in canvas quality, tools, website, video/photo editing/lighting, social media pages, Etsy shop, business cards, and now having my art hanging in a local gallery. But most importantly, I've learned a lot about myself and the impact of stepping far outside my comfort zone has on my self worth and my soul. Self doubt runs amouk and choosing to put that on the back burner has really allowed me to be free and not live an existence that doesn't fulfill. Art has brought so much joy to my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything 🥰 Love to everyone who's literally cheered me on 😘 Now here's a bunch of random pics from along the way😎 www.ArtByAnnieMarie.com #fun #eclecticdecor #eclectichome #eclectic #newfoundhobby #loveofart #loveofpainting #blankcanvas #homedecorating #wallart #contemporarypainting #studioscenes #happyheart #interiorstyle #oregonartist #oregonart #abstractart #abstract #abstractpainting #abstractexpressionism #originalpainting #colorsplash #happyhome #artistsofinstagram #creatingart #catalyst #catalystwedge #selfdoubt #purpose #loveyourself (at Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRVHjqzrkzj/?utm_medium=tumblr
