Today I am finishing this #painting ... I know, it looks suspiciously finished, but it is not. It is 99.9% finished. This weekend we brave the 0.1%. And then I will ... hold your breath ... be selling prints. And maybe the jigsaw puzzle suggested, because we do love puzzles in this house. #artyear

I am reawakening the socials like a hibiscus blooming in winter. Before anyone tells me it is not winter. I live in Australia. And yes, the hibiscus blooms improbably. Things GROW here in winter. Summer is the death season. So I grow. I've been tending a THING. It is still in bud ... slow bloom 🌸

Work in spiral progress. Tinkering a paintover, and my daughter "Why are you ruining my favourite painting?😡" ... so it spirals back to the old story ... and you can not step in the same river twice, but you can run upstream and catch a leaf. And she was right. #intuitiveart #artyear #painting

How to spell cacophony. #artlesson 😅 Why is spelling so hard when lettering??? Finishing old art journals because I yearn for a sense of completion. One day I hope someone will look at this and think - "how fascinating", and not "that's not how you spell cacophony". #artjournal #collage #alteredbook

Finding quiet amidst the cacophony. I finally found time for arting and fixed an #artjournal spread that went awry ... in 2013. There was so much cacophony, I couldn't spell cacophony. Less cacophony now. Amended my signature to just Lynda - no more family names claiming me in my #art. #artyear

I do not need any more books or picture frames, and yet ... I have an obsession with velvet and the colour purple, so when I saw a $2 frame at the charity store with purple velvet 💜 Also, if the internet goes down, I have a library to keep me amused and educated for 100 years. #books #thrifting

I've been avoiding painting, so last Sunday I went in my arty studio and said "you will paint". After about 5hrs of rearranging paint brushes and paints, browsing art books, starting up a painting class video, journaling about not painting, a nausea spinning panic attack ... painted. #artyear

Day 16 prompt Collage for #MakersmARTch although it is actually the 17th here but 'Thimble'? 🤔🤷‍♀️ nothing Collage - where to start?! I love using collage when I feel stuck. From there it is #mixedmedia mayhem #artyear #artjournal

There is something delightfully decisive about #drawing directly in #ink. No erasure. It is what it is. Day 12 Ink #MakersmARTch #artyear

Work in progress intuitive painting. This painting embodies sadness, which I feel a lot of when I ponder the state of the world. #MakersMartch #painting

Parked at the local train station recently and thought ... damn, when did the horses disappear? When I grew up, everyone had a friend or a neighbour who owned a horse. Just memories and old road signs now. Time marches on.

Day 6 of #MakersMartch Glue ❤️ My favourite glue is gel medium. I love integrating #collage into my #art - words, texture, objects, images, colour, shape. Glue it down! Many feathers because I live surrounded by flocks of birds that gift me feathers 🪶 #artjournal #artyear #alteredbooks

I've been in denial that it is March, but here goes ... a combo deal of woven, button, bead, and soft ... #artjournal cover Most of my journals have stiff board covers layered in collage. Something different - a soft stitched cover! Not bound pages in yet.

The person who I made this painting for, Emma, titled the painting "Imago". It is named "...after the final stage of an insect's (such as a butterfly's) life cycle after metamorphosis." #art #artgallary #artist #artistonbluesky #landscapeart #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ+ #originalart #traditionalart #Watercolor

I love how the warmth of the copper panel shines through the layers of pigment, adding a luminous depth to the piece. This is a sneak peek of the underpainting for one of the works debuting at my solo show with @havengallery later this month! ⁠ #OilPainting #Underpainting #PaintingOnCopper

Thinking on new beginnings, a fresh canvas or art journal, to start a personal journey, but there is unfinished business in old stories, so we spiral back. Incomplete journals and paintings wag fingers at us. 100 day project- to work on what we have abandoned, gathering up our parts. #artjournal

This intuitive painting is about stopping and being present with what is going on in your life. The best way to live our lives. #art #womensart #painting #intuitivepainting #womenspainting
