Exploring Abstract Art: Ocean Blues vs. Playful Pinks

There’s something so freeing about creating just to explore—and these two practice abstract sets were exactly that. No pressure, just color and curiosity leading the way.

Both are made up of four mini abstracts using the same mix of watercolors, acrylics, pens, pencils, and bits of collage—yet they each took on a completely different mood.

Cool, Calm Ocean Blues

The first set leans into soft blues and greens, inspired by the gentle rhythm of the ocean. The colors flow naturally, with subtle texture and small pops of green, yellow and light that feel peaceful and soothing.

Warm, Playful Pinks

The second set is full of warmth and energy, with vibrant pinks, touches of orange, and hints of gold. Layered marks, playful movement, and a bit of shimmer give these pieces a lively, expressive feel.

Same Process, Different Personalities

I love how the same materials can lead to such different results. One calm and flowing… the other bright and full of energy.

It’s a beautiful reminder that creativity doesn’t have to be perfect—just showing up and playing can lead to something unexpected and joyful.

Which one speaks to you more—the calming blues or the playful pinks?

Thank you so much for stopping by. Wishing you a happy, colorful, and wonderful day ✨

Creative Inchies: Transforming Small Art into Big Inspiration

“Inchies” may be small, but they sure pack a big creative punch! Over time, I’ve built up quite a collection of these little abstracts. Recently, I made some leaf impressions with watercolors but wasn’t sure what to do with them—until inspiration struck!

I realized they were the perfect size for my 6×6 inch Bee Paper Mixed Media Journal. So, I dug into my inchie stash, picked out some favorites, cut them out and turned them into vibrant collaged abstracts. I love how dynamic they look!

I’m also thinking these could be part of a larger piece—what do you think? 🌿💚

Hope this sparks a little creativity for you! Wishing you a cheerful and inspired weekend!

Creative Breaks: Studio Life and New Artwork

  • 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!
