Another artist who's work grabs me every single time. I see it.

Every time I scroll past a piece of art from this artist, I stop and have a closer look and then realize that it's his again. Something about it really speaks to me.

Really beautiful 😍

Good morning! Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion

I'm in a bit of creative funk just lately, so digging through some of my previous works for inspiration. Love this colour palette - might be what I do next... #art #painting #watercolour #watercolor #abstract #abstractart #landscape #originalart #artwork #minimalism #gentleart karinacoghlin.com

Trying to remember to post my art because it makes me exceptionally happy #embroidery #artyear

so lovely and peaceful

today's set of minis "dream worlds" 9x12 mixed media on watercolor paper #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

more coastal abstract experiments. 6 minis on one page. these are so much fun! #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

Playing with coastal inspired abstracts. Making art is keeping me sane (?). #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

Always love the way super-granulating, color separating watercolors are unpredictable. 5x7 mixed media #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

Making myself expand my color palette. I didn't like it at first. Now I love it. 5x7 mixed media #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

I love this so hard

Stepping away from the pink/green combo and playing with mixed media.

Hey! I am printing my first Photo Zine. Available for purchase on my website now if you’re interested. And either way, if you would click ‘like’ on this post I’d really appreciate that!

i really wanted to create something very calming and peaceful. soft. easy. my favorite part is where the pink flowed into the green like little tendrils. i absolutely love witnessing the ways the paints relate to each other. 5x7 watercolor on bockingford paper

i have been getting more urges to drift away from strictly colorfield experiments. that feels exciting and kind of scary. but my intention is always to bring calm and ease and softness, so i focus on that. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

i strayed from my intention of strictly colorfield paintings, but i gotta follow the inspiration where it leads. 5x7 #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

another pink/green experiment. sometimes i think i should move on from these, but they are keeping me out of my brain and bringing me peace and calm. (except occasionally when I am laying down the tape for the golden lines 🤪) #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

this one told me it wanted to be more landscape-like, so i expanded the rules of my current experiment (50+ pink and green colorfield paintings) #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

today's experiment kind of reminds me of a pink ocean scene. 5x7 watercolor #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

another experiment. this time with some highly anticipated new paints. not sure i like the paints at all in this context. the color coverage is lower than expected and the texture is a bit gummy. i do like the bit in the lower left where the pink/purple bleeds into the green with a root-like form.

added a smidge of turquoise into the experiment today. definitely still learning. i might prefer to tone down the pink a bit. but i am still loving the patterns and sworls and golden shapes. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

i am falling in love with the process of creating these paintings. pink and green together make my heart sing. throw in metallic gold and i get giddy. they feel full of ease, peace, safety, beauty, and spirit. painting them feels like a refuge from this heartbreaking world.

this one was an adventure. one of my favorites. loving the colors and textures and softness. then my trusty tape betrayed me and ripped off a chunk of the paper on the left side. tried to repair it, but... still love it though. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

kind of obsessed now with adding tiny shapes to these paintings. this one is made with metallic gold paste. focusing on creating beauty and listening to my inner voice. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

this time i experimented with adding faint lines and a square. next time i'll play with how to make the edges of the square sharper. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

after a brief interlude for fever and grouchy tummy, another experiment. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart #pinkart

These are beautiful. I'll take the one on the top right. After all, it's pink and green!

another experiment. played with textures. learned some stuff. keep on keeping on. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

Truth

simply stunning

today's pink and green play. went vaguely landscape-y. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

I shipped a few new paintings to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming and they have arrived! Here’s a moody one, “Mystery Theatre” oil, 16” x 20” #mysterious #landscape #dusk #sunsetpainting #cloudspainting #oilpainting

today's pink/green experiment continuing to lean into beauty and joy in the face of everything else. (not to the exclusion of taking other action) #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

added some metallic gold to my pink/green experiments. the gold shows up as brownish on my scanner, so you'll have to use your imagination. i really enjoyed playing with this one, but i am mixed about he outcome. thoughts? #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart

more pink and green color play. this time on hot press watercolor paper. (which i'm really liking) experimenting is fun. trying to let go of judging the outcome. but still want it to feel interesting, soft, and ease-y. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #whimsicalart
