A pop of colour for this rainy day. “Happy Hour” now available in my online shop.🌈 I’ve been creating new collages. Sitting, looking, thinking about where each piece of paper, scrap of fabric & remnant of canvas will go. How the puzzle will be put together & what story I’m trying to tell. This photo is by a talented artist I recently discovered @_jordansullivan_ It has all the elements that I find appealing. Check him out😊 “If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If you’re not, you’ll find an excuse.” Currently reading You are a Badass by Jen Sincero & I keep sticking post it notes on pages that give me all the feels. I used to think I couldn’t make art on a full time basis because I didn’t have a studio filled with wall space & natural light to create in. Reality is I decided to make it work & I paint at our dining table & in the basement most days. My mess makes me happy & so does this little abstract piece. Spring is officially here & I’ve teamed up with some local companies to give you this amazing giveaway. One lucky winner is going to win this prize, which includes an original painting of mine. 🎉 Info is on the blog with all of the contest details. There is also a link in my profile to enter, good luck!📷by @chantellewattphoto Back in the studio today working on some new pieces on paper. This photograph I took last year is serving as my color inspiration.🌈 Enjoy your long weekend! I’ll be eating my daughters chocolate & celebrating my husbands Birthday! Enjoy every moment, I know I’m feeling pretty lucky.💕 Detail of a collage I made recently for @jennysprintshop Frame just one or get the collection of three. There’s nothing better than sharing ideas with other creatives you meet who are local. Today I had the pleasure to have lunch, chat & laugh with a few ladies who I’m collaborating with on a big giveaway next week. @thelearnerobserver @shopcasaalma @chantellewattphoto 🎉📷by @chantellewattphoto When you see a house that looks like your current colour palette, you need to share it! 🌈 📷 by @dariagermania It took me months to finish this as I had to keep setting it aside. It was taking me outside of my comfort zone & I was hesitant on what the next move would be. As an abstract artist I usually do not like to see objects in my paintings, just brushstrokes. I see a bird singing a hot pink medley & I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Now available in my shop, link in profile.
