"Behind the Scenes in The Land of The Pink Sky" mixed media on 6x6 watercolor paper There are often invisible agents of magic and goodness, peace and ease, hope and love, power and audacity working behind the scenes in The Land of The Pink Sky. Sometimes we can catch a glimpse of them.

More from The Land of The Pink Sky. Sometimes the normally invisible currents make themselves known.

Committing to being creative and experimental instead of so much doomscrolling. The group I am in is doing this daily starting on Feb 1, but I'm getting a head start. Playing with materials, not aiming for a finished product. What taking care of myself looks like at the moment.

My mind and heart feel fried/scrambled. But I am trying to lean into being creative anyway. 5in x 5in Mixed media on clayboard. #ArtYear #art #painting #watercolor #abstract #mixedmedia #ArtistsOnBlueSky #BlueSkyArtShow #AbstractArt #Painter #Artist #WomensArtBlueSky #AbstractArtist #BlueSkyArt

I finished this one today. It's a little more chaotic than I usually do, I guess. But that makes sense, doesn't it... It really felt good to just focus on creation. It's on a 5x5in. cradled clayboard. Working on clayboard is a very different experience than using paper. Was fun to experiment.

I love this artist's work so much.

Love this one!

So lovely!

Portrait on gold leaf. Tiny little seed pearls in the background like tufting. This painting was fun to do with all the the burnishing

Share an artist whose work always seems to catch your eye.

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

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.

Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever —Anthony Doerr gouache on paper #scape #ForestFriday #pleinair #painting #nature #colorful #art #forest

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
