I made a jellyfish! Learning to add drawings or outlines while trying out different papers

I started writing again. It’s infrequent and I find I was less self conscious about writing when I was younger. It feels vulnerable to share my thoughts in such a way and so easy to compare against others and criticise myself. Considering sharing here or maybe I’ll start a Substack. We’ll see.

Not everything we try works out. (Is the message I’m trying to tell my inner perfectionist who is both frustrated and disappointed at some very gross chocolate muffins 🤮 )

I don’t like the way social media makes it look like everything is going well all the time. So here are some of my paintings that did not turn out so well.

This is my most recent painting. I’m trying to understand better how the colours blend and how the paint moves and am finding landscape pictures work well for that.

Seeing what is going on between the US and Ukraine is both enraging and heartbreaking. I looked up ways I can help Ukraine and their people directly and saw a great suggestion to buy from Ukrainian artists on Etsy so my money goes directly to the people. Love this idea and wanted to share it!

Made my first two paintings. (They’re bookmarks) Mixed feeling. 😂 Lessons learned: gonna need to use a heat gun or hairdryer cuz patience is not my thing and don’t over do it. The mountain one had only a few plants at the front and it looked good but I overthought it and added more and like it less.

I’ve decided to learn watercolour which is a big deal for me cuz it’s not a skill I excel at and I really struggle allowing myself to be bad at something long enough to learn to be better. Prepare for future pictures of terrible paintings 😂

I watched this video of Aurora ♥️ performing for my hometown radio kexp and was so moved by her conversation about how the world has seemingly stopped following its heart and often chooses power over compassion and care. It’s why I feel so disconnected all the time. How do we find our way back?
