Warm hues ☀️ for an unseasonably warm week for February up ahead. I’d prefer not to be freezing, but it’s certainly unsettling to be this warm in the North East in the middle of winter. ⠀ ⠀ 🔹2.2.20🔹 #creatediscovery⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _⠀ #abmhappylife #abmlifeiscolorful #acolorstory #aplayfulprocess #artforyourhome #artistcommunity #artistlife #badasscreatives #bigmagic #calledtobecreative #carveouttimeforart #creativelifehappylife #creativityfound #cylcollective #doitfortheprocess #happyartistmovement #homeinthestudio #howihue #intuitivepainting #myunicornlife #searchwandercollect #seekthesimplicity #showyourwork #smploves #studioscenes #theblogissue #theeverygirl #waketomake #wearethemakers https://ift.tt/31hX3Ad

Just reflecting on the last decade of my life as I enter into the next one this weekend. It puts into perspective how small you are in the big scheme of things. Still, even if we’re all just passing through it’s nice to see how our time here influences both the macro and the micro. ⠀ ⠀ I've always felt more connected to the moon 🌙 but since it’s my bday weekend cheers 🥂 to another trip around the sun ☀️ tomorrow!⠀ ⠀ 🔹9.7.19🔹 #creatediscovery⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _⠀ #happyartistmovement #creativelifehappylife #myunicornlife #theblogissue #abmlifeiscolorful #seekthesimplicity #howihue #abmhappylife #creativewomen #communityovercompetition #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #nycblogger #theeverydayproject #photosinbetween #bloggervibes #visualsoflife #lbloggers #blackgirlswhoblog #pursuepretty #thatsdarling #petitejoys #neverstopexploring #creativityfound #blackblogger #everythingeverywhere #sheisnotlost #makemoments #wheretofindme https://ift.tt/2ZWBRxk

Still mulling 🤔 this one over. Sometimes it doesn’t come naturally and you have to wrestle with your creative muses. I know it’ll be more rewarding 🙌🏾 in the end when I finally crack it. ⠀ ⠀ Until then...onto the next creative project! ⠀ ⠀ 🔹8.10.19🔹 #creatediscovery⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _⠀ #Candyminimal #Colorlove #abmlifeiscolorful #abstractart #artistcommunity #dsart #acrylicart #artnow #calledtobecreative #capturingcolor #carveouttimeforart #courageouscreative #creativelifehappylife #flaming_abstracts #creativewomen #happyartistmovement #howihue #lbloggers #abstractors_anonymous #livethelittlethings #livetocreate #myunicornlife #nycblogger #photosinbetween #pursuepretty #acrylicabstract #theblogissue #thehappynow #expressiveart https://ift.tt/2KDE2Af

There’s a lot going on right now & quite frankly there always has been a lot going on. ⠀ ⠀ Still, I’d like to hope for better days & better ways of living & coexisting. I’m cautiously optimistic because of how history moves forward and backward but still progresses in the right direction. ⠀ ⠀ Only time will tell but in the moment we can still aim for the world 🌎 we want to see. I’m not a religious person but whether it’s prayer, positive vibes, or good intentions I think we can all benefit from a little (or a lot) of positivity.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Title: Pray for America by David Hammons (1969)⠀ ⠀ 🔹7.4.19🔹 #creatediscovery⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #myunicornlife #photosinbetween #theblogissue #calledtobecreative #creativelifehappylife #lbloggers #nycblogger #seekthesimplicity #thehappynow #visualsoflife #museumofmodernart #artistcommunity #livethelittlethings #happyartistmovement #blackgirlswhoblog #theeverydayproject #littlestoriesofmylife #blackswhoblog #abmlifeiscolorful #dsart #abstractart #happyfourth #happyfourthofjuly #communityovercompetition #capturingcolor #creativepreneur #pursuepretty #howihue #bloggervibes https://ift.tt/2LAOURB

Just messing around with no expectation of creating the next great masterpiece.

I’m coming off of a busier weekend than I initially thought but it was a good one so no complaints! I had to push back my paint 🖌 sesh but I still have a few creative sparks ⚡️ swirling around in my mind. ⠀ ⠀ The color palette 🎨 here is outside of my current wheelhouse but there is enough crossover that I’m inspired to test something similar out & see where it goes!⠀ ⠀ Title: (Untitled) by Andy Warhol (1968)⠀ ⠀ 🔹6.10.19🔹 #creatediscovery⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _⠀ #seeingthepretty #ardentfinds #bloggervibes #brilliantmoments #calledtobecreative #creativelifehappylife #cornersofmyworld #feelfreefeed #finditliveit #everysquareastory #foundforaged #lbloggers #lifestyleblogger #liveauthentic #lovelysquares #myunicornlife #newyorklife #nycblogger #nyclife #oneofthebunch #petitejoys #photosinbetween #pursuepretty #seekthesimplicity #theblogissue #thehappynow #visualsoflife #wandeleurspark #pursuewhatislovely http://bit.ly/2WwTXcq

Quick paintings sketches 🖌for the win! You get the benefit of that positive creative release without any of the pressure to create something “good enough” to share or sell. ⠀ ⠀ Just creating to enjoy 🙌🏾 the daily practice of the act itself & nothing more. You can’t always control the self doubt that creeps in but without the pressure you’re more likely to loosen up & maybe even discover ✨something worthwhile!⠀ ⠀ 🔹6.5.19🔹 #creatediscovery⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _⠀ #Candyminimal #Colorlove #abstractart #artoftheday #carveouttimeforart #colorcrush #colorgram #colorhunters #colorsplash #colorsplurge #colorventures #createeveryday #creativehappylife #creativelife #creativeprocess #dsart #dscolor #ihavethisthingwithcolor #livethelittlethings #myunicornlife #pastel_lover #popyacolour #sodomino #soloverly #sweetdreamsdlf #theblogissue #thecolorproject #thehappynow #waketomake http://bit.ly/2QPycye

This is a detail shot from last year when I was in the middle of painting 🖼 a piece called “Blood Sweat & Tears.” ⠀ ⠀ The finished product is probably one of my favorites if not my absolute favorite 💜 piece I’ve ever made. I even made a phone case out of it! ⠀ ⠀ The final product is also available as a free ✨ wallpaper. You can check it out in the highlight named “Wallpapers” & download your own using the link 🔗 in my bio 👉🏾 @violetroots!⠀ ⠀ 🔹5.29.19🔹 #creatediscovery⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _⠀ #abmhappylife #abmlifeiscolorful #acolorstory #aplayfulprocess #artforyourhome #artistcommunity #artistlife #badasscreatives #bigmagic #calledtobecreative #carveouttimeforart #creativelifehappylife #creativityfound #cylcollective #doitfortheprocess #happyartistmovement #homeinthestudio #howihue #intuitivepainting #myunicornlife #seekthesimplicity #showyourwork #smploves #studioscenes #theblogissue #waketomake #wearethemakers #handandhustle #creatorslane http://bit.ly/2XbWSne

Reliving my last concert 🎶 experience at the #SpeakYourself tour to keep the post concert blues 😞 at bay.

A bit more yellow 💛 never hurts. This progress shot reminds me of what the base layer of this painting 🖼 looked like.

Seaside colors on a wet & cloudy ⛅️ day. I don’t use a lot of variations of green. It’s kind of a tricky color to work with but yellow, gold, & blue help to make it a little less tricky since they’re in the same realm.⠀ ⠀ 🔹5.14.19🔹 #creatediscovery⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ _⠀ #Candyminimal #Colorlove #abmlifeiscolorful #abstractart #artistcommunity #blackgirlswhoblog #bloggervibes #calledtobecreative #capturingcolor #carveouttimeforart #dsart #creativelifehappylife #creativepreneur #creativewomen #happyartistmovement #howihue #lbloggers #littlestoriesofmylife #livethelittlethings #livetocreate #myunicornlife #nycblogger #photosinbetween #pursuepretty #seekthesimplicity #theblogissue #theeverydayproject #thehappynow #visualsoflife http://bit.ly/30lEkmg

Reliving my experience at the first stop for the Neo City 💚 tour for NCT 127! Going through old concert footage is part of the fun.
