New Art Releases: Moments of Renewal and Echoes of Joy

These past two weeks have been a whirlwind, but I survived! 🎉

Long story short—my computer crashed, and I was nearly in tears thinking I’d lost all of my work and photos. 😢 Thankfully, everything was recovered, and I now have a brand-new computer—yay! The downside? It came with all-new software, including a different version of Windows and my photo-editing program, so there’s definitely a learning curve. But I’ll get there😅

While my computer was down, I still managed to get some work done from my phone (which was not easy on that tiny screen!). I did, however, manage to list two new pieces in my Etsy shop:

🎨 Moments of Renewal – A 5×5-inch abstract painting that glows with depth and movement. Layers of luminous color and expressive brushwork create a radiant composition that feels alive—evoking both serenity and inspiration.

🎨 Echoes of Joy – A vibrant 4×12-inch modern abstract that bursts with rhythm and harmony. Energetic strokes and shifting layers of color capture a sense of celebration and motion, like joyful echoes reverberating through light and space.

✨ Both of these one-of-a-kind abstracts make a bold statement as wall art or as a shelf accent in your home, office, or creative space. Their vivid hues and dynamic energy invite reflection, spark conversation, and add a touch of contemporary elegance wherever they’re displayed.

Stop by my Flowing Waters Art Shop on Etsy to take a closer look!

Thanks so much for stopping by—wishing you a truly wonderful rest of your week! 😊

Lately, I’ve been diving into playful designs and new exciting colors, and I just finished two new abstract paintings that I’m excited to share! Each piece is a little world of movement and energy, inspired by my love of color and spontaneous mark-making.

One of them boasts deep, rich browns that immediately made me think of dark chocolate (because, let’s be honest, chocolate is always on my mind! 🍫). The other takes a softer approach, with soothing blues and gentle pinks that bring a sense of calm and tranquility. Together, they form a beautifully balanced duo—one bold and indulgent, the other serene and dreamy!

  • 3×4 Inch Canvas
  • 5×7 Inch Canvas

With the holidays seeming to arrive faster each year, I’ve been super busy managing the ongoing holiday sale and updating my Etsy Shop. Unfortunately, this has left me with limited studio time, which is such a bummer because creating brings me so much joy. 😥

Despite the holiday hustle, I’ve managed to carve out little pockets of time to work on these two abstracts! 😊 The first one, shown above, is a 3×4-inch cutie that’s starting to take shape. The second is a 5×7-inch canvas with a 1.5-inch depth, making it perfect for either shelf-sitting or wall décor. Both need quite a bit more work but I love where they’re going!

There’s still more to do in my Etsy Shop, but I’m prioritizing studio time because it keeps me grounded and happy. I’ve realized that even a small dose of creativity can make such a big difference in my day.

What about you? What do you do to lift your spirits when you need a quick boost?

Thanks so much for stopping by—wishing you a joyful and creative day!

Finding Inspiration: My Angel Painting Journey

  • My inspiration which led to this…….

Inspiration can strike when you least expect it, and often in the most delightful places. During a visit to Naples on the West Coast of Florida, I stumbled upon a charming angel in a quaint little shop, and it was love at first sight. Standing 20 inches tall, she now graces my home year-round, serving as a constant reminder of that beautiful day—and she ended up sparking the idea for my latest painting!

This whimsical piece was created on a 4×6-inch canvas panel using acrylic paints. For her dress, I was inspired by the patterns on the Naples angel, and I decided to add my own playful twist. Using a white Posca pen, I adorned her dress with intricate designs that have quickly become one of the highlights of the piece for me. To finish it off, I added a meaningful quote: “may peace and love always have a home in your heart.”

I hope this painting—and the story behind it—encourages you to find joy in your own creative journey. Take a moment today to pick up your brushes, pens, or whatever inspires you, and create something that brings you joy.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with inspiration! Thank you so much for stopping by!
