I went on a mission to make only tiny paintings after toiling with a lot of thoughts in my art journey. I'm going to share those thoughts with you while making seven different paintings. Hopefully it's helpful/inspiring to anyone else out there.

Yay! I got three of your original paintings! I have been refreshing your website all day. ❤ I'm turning 40 next month and this was a gift to myself. You have helped me fall in love with art again and I'm forever grateful.

"we are a lot more capable than we give ourselves credit for" - this is so true and I have to remind myself of this ALL the time! Whenever I doubt myself I'm like, yeah but you did X, Y and Z so you can do this too! ❤

I love our little hang out sessions. It’s like spending time with a best friend.

I typically don't care for longer videos, but you make the time so enjoyable that I love them. No speeding your video up.

I looove the chill vibes and longer vids. I’m a person that puts on like 3 hour vids and either paints, crochets or works with the vid on. You are inspiring me to do more small size works!

small pieces of art are just so much fun, I feel like you can really push your creativity on them 🥰

Your story about the water reminded me of one of my favorite memories with my daughter. Years ago when we were driving we watched a hawk land in a field. We pulled over and watched until it flew into the trees. There were no cars or people around and we talked later about how we were the only two people who would have that memory. For years after when we would pass that spot she would say “Remember when we saw that hawk, Mom?” Thanks for reminding me of that!

the edges work really well with those 3, gives them an old hollywood vibes, look like the ends of filmstrips 😀

I love the colours you chose for the water! Those greens are some of my favorite colours. The water paintings would be amazing as paper/sticky papers to use in scrapbooking and collaging 😍

I’m mesmerized when I see you painting water, it’s simply gorgeous! I would not even remotely consider painting water 😂 but it’s ok as we don’t have to do everything. Love your paintings ❤
Yes to longer chill videos

You're videos are such a warm and cozy place to hang. ❤ Appreciate your honest sharing. I am an active people pleaser 😂, so this is very good advice for me. Also - when you put that lighter color on the water paintings to do the highlights it just pulls the whole peice together SO WELL. I watched you do it like 3x. 😂 You have such patience with such small brushes it's like magic. 🎉

I'm currently homebound so having too much time is a problem I'm dealing with.
But it's a gift to be able to spend this much time with God.
I've also used this time to learn to draw. I never expected to fall in love with art.

1:52 i feel seen! i have lists for EVERYTHING, and lists of lists. my list of “art i want to make someday” is a sight to behold… 😅 I also super relate to the feeling that i will never have enough time to make everything i want to make, which can be disheartening at times but i’m learning to look at it as a positive. i’d way rather have too many ideas than not enough. 😊
