This week was my first full week of art journaling. By my first week I mean, the first week where I didn’t have to go anywhere or do anything but paint. My idea was to blog daily, share my ideas, and add new work to the shop. I have started a file for the book. Still thinking about this post. There is a definite power in not knowing what I’ll paint and doing it now. I’ll go with that. Oh, this was a good podcast too. Here’s some of my artwork from this week.

Grab two colors and do the mixing and blending on the paper. Good one. Soft strokes. That works too. If I’m overthinking it shows in my strokes.

Paint with pink.

Grow your own garden. Take your time.

Pink roses. Yellow roses. Wildflowers. Aren’t they all wild? We are wild. Problems arise when someone tries to tame us and we let them. Makes sense! Be different. Be you. Be bold. There’s room for us all.

I’m going to add more details to all of these. I should just paint and see what happens. Don’t think about the book or that I must produce daily content. Who cares. None of that matters. All I need to do is pick up the paintbrush and paint. Oh and paint I shall!

Stay well and cool my blooming beauties!

Siempre,

Mireya
