As most of you know, I love color. The more, the merrier! I remember when my dad first introduced me to watercolors. I eagerly added every color in the palette to the paper, only to create a big puddle of mud. I was so upset that my vision of a beautiful, colorful masterpiece ended up as a yucky mess 😂 That’s when my dad started teaching me about color mixing.

Given that early experience, it’s no wonder I paint the way I do. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce “Splash,” the latest addition to my Etsy Shop. This abstract painting, crafted with professional paints on 7.9×7.9 inch, 140 lb hot press watercolor paper, will enchant all who see it.

Creating art is meant to expand your mind and soul. It’s an unpredictable adventure, and that’s where the joy comes from. May this piece inspire you to explore, experiment, and find beauty in the unexpected twists and turns of your own creative journey.

Have you ever been so engrossed in creating something that you didn’t realize you were making a hot mess? Well, that’s exactly what happened with this painting! I was having a blast playing with my watercolors and experimenting with different techniques, totally oblivious to the chaos unfolding 😂 I kept adding more layers, hoping to salvage it, but eventually, called it a day.

Although it didn’t go as planned, there are still aspects I love, like the vibrant colors, the blue fanned brushstrokes around the edges, and the dreamy vibe. Overall, I think it still looks pretty cool; you can see where some of the bottom layers peek through in different areas, adding more depth. What do you think?

I hope it inspires you to embrace the unexpected in your own creative journey. Thanks for stopping by!

I’ve been working on creating a new design for the Expressions of Love Collection and this is what I came up with. It’s an organic design with beautiful hearts, outlined in glistening gold. I collaged a paper doily to the background for a bit of romance and it can be seen on each heart.

These 3 paintings were created on 1.5 inch thick canvases making them ideal as a shelf sitter and the perfect décor for a desk, shelf or counter. Plus they can also be hung on the wall. They will all be up in my Etsy Shop by the end of this weekend.

Below is a time lapse process video of me painting a layer on the Rose Pink Heart. I’m working on getting over my camera shyness 😅

Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic weekend!!
