Slowly progressing as my eye circulates as the viewer and my brush follows. Constantly layering and correcting. #art #workinprogress #journal #painting #Blueskyart #landscape #acrylicpainting #statueofliberty

Now that school is back in session, the mom's hat is off and the artist's hat is back on. Ready to continue my journey with this painting. #journal #art #painting #workinprogress #BluSkyArt #Landscape #acrylic #EastCoastKin

Still here, painting at a slower pace but with the same intent while school is on summer break. As a mother, I have a daily reminder of our future and continue to paint with inspiration. #Blueskyart #journal #bskyartist #artist #art #painting #landscape #EastCoastKin #inspiration #NYC

Sanctuary Doves Soar Swiftly Come today, Right away! Deliver Comfort, Calm, & Care to help Dispel this deep Despair Bring branches of olive, twigs of fig, tender vine rope, & fragments of Hope. #art #watercolors #poetry #worldpeace #hope #wellness

I continue to find the proportions in this 40x60 in" painting of "us" while playing with scales and time. The sense of time and space I hope will reflect an emotional connection when this painting is completed. #journal #acrylicpainting #Eastcoastkin #scape #art #artshare #NYC #workinprogress #us

I'm working on a new underpainting that will be titled "us". It's far from finished but will one day represent the past and present appreciation for the inclusion and freedom of our country. #art #journal #workinprogress #acrylicpainting #Blueskyart #us #artshare #landscape #statueliberty

Nothing like being wrapped in the loving limbs of your favorite tree with your favorite pets. My past work, “Tree of Love”. #bskyart #artyear #eastcoastkin #nature #forestfriday #flowersonfriday #fabricart #art #pets #painting #fabricdye

I am just spreading some "Hope". I have finally completed this 20x24 in. oil painting "Hope". I was inspired by nature and incorporated pieces of wheatgrass throughout the painting.

One child, one seed, one earth, and endless hope for our future. My journal entry for “Hope” has come to an end but my journey continues with my next painting. In the meantime, may we all hope for a better, brighter future! #Hope #Art #Oilpainting #journal #artshare #BlueSkyart #mixedmedia

"Just Hanging Out With Frida" is one of my past works. This hand-painted portrait of the iconic Frida Kahlo was created on a hand-dyed, blue-green, floral textured canvas bag.The respect I have for this Mexican artist made this piece a joy to paint. #BlueSkyArtshow #Green #art #FridaKahlo #fabric

Zoom in to witness the fields come to life with the contributions of Mother Nature. Hope continues to manifest in the smallest moments. #Hope #Art #BlueSkyArt #journal #workinprogress #oilpainting #mixedmedia #portrait #smallestmoments #MotherNature

Sorry I took a break this week and have not updated this painting to spend time with family. It waits for my return for its completion. A constant reminder of hope. #Hope #BlueSkyArtShow #Earth #Art #Painting #workinprogress #artshare #portrait #landscape

My paintbrush remains in a mesmerizing swirl to portray her gaze of a promise of what tomorrow holds instead of seeing what lies ahead today. #Hope #Blueskyart #oilpainting #journal #art #workinprogress #portrait #promise

“Hope”~My paint brush continues to wander through the field to express nature’s smallest gifts can bring the largest possibilities. #Hope #art #Blueskyart #journal #oilpainting #nature #possibilities #workinprogress #artshare #portrait #painting

“Hope”~A week ago, while painting I was caught in a repetitive cycle of discontent. I ventured to an open field where my daughter’s laughter filled the field as she ran wild and free. This was an inspirational moment that broke my cycle of discontent. #Hope #painting #art #journal #workinprogress

Hope”~Every day I paint her face the expression changes. Maybe she knows what’s going on in the world? #Hope #art #Blueskyart #oilpainting #journal #expression #artwork #workinprogress #artshare

As an artist, sometimes I struggle posting my worst before my best through the progression of this painting “Hope”. Realizing reflection will be the greatest gift to have from my posts I move forward. #Hope #art #oilpainting #BlueSkyart #journal #portrait #artshare #artjournal

“Hope” Today has been a reminder of why I love painting. Facing more obstacles I decided to stop thinking and start feeling. I used my fingers to measure and paint. This gave me a connection to the painting and a fresh look at things. #Hope #Art #painting #portrait #journal #Blueskyart

“Hope” Had one of those weeks where my mind said lets move on and the brush said lets stay here. As a result I became fixated on the face which distorted it. It was not fun having to find my way back. #Hope #BlueSkyart #art #journal #painting #artjournal #portrait #artist

I’m curious with the evolution of social media and art does art still hold value in real life? I ask because in person art may not live up to the expectations to what is suddenly being enhanced and observed on some platforms. Has art just become a swipe up?

Focused on Hope I didn't fixate on painting one specific thing today. I worked on a little bit of everything allowing me to have a fresh eye on things in the morning. #Hope #art #Blueskyart #painting #journal #portrait

My mind and eyes seem to be in a struggle this week of what they know and see as I paint. There is a glimmer of Hope. #Hope #BlueSkyart #art #journal #painting #portrait

“Hope” Over the past few days I started to add color and details to this painting. It can be challenging because each thing I add changes something else so I find myself working in a circular pattern of constant correction. #art #Blueskyart #Hope #oilpainting #portrait #journal #challenges

As an artist I am finding my creativity impacted by the recent changes in the world. I cannot ignore where my heart and mind take my brush. As a result these changes are reflected in my work. This evolution has made me rethink and reset my priorities. Any other artists feeling this way?

“Hope” I am still discovering the proportions of this painting. The hands are an important representation in this painting and I want to express them well before adding the next element. I still have a long way to go! #Hope #art #oilpainting #vision #journal #Bluesky #discovering

Today’s progression of my painting. Moving forward towards “Hope”

“Hope” is what I am going to call this painting when it is finished. As I look at the foundation of this painting I laugh to myself as it looks hopeless. I am determined to see my vision in the title and will continue to journal my progress. #Hope #art #oilpainting #progress #journal #vision

“Just hanging out with Frida!”Completed this personalized fabric dyed tote bag with a hand painted portrait of the surrealist artist Frida Kahlo on it. So fun! #FridaKahlo #surrealism #portrait #bags #fashionart #trending #painting #style #femaleartists #customart

Just an update on my journey of painting this bag. I look forward to what tomorrow brings as I continue to add to this creation. I really enjoy the process and anticipation of what is to come! #art #journey #portrait #creation #anticipation #artist #process #painting #accessories

Having fun painting this bag. Can you guess who I’m painting on it?
