I haven’t posted in a while (this seems to be the narrative in all my recent posts) so I hope everyone is well.
I am not returning, since I never left. I’m here regularly lurking in the comments.
Not much to report today. I did, however spend most of the weekend painting. It’s something I used to do years ago and got back into earlier this year.
While I do have a creative side, I tend to keep it hidden from most of the world. I feel uncomfortably vulnerable sharing creative works since they are so personal…and I question whether I have any talent (this is not an actual question I’m interested in having anyone answer 😂)
But in an attempt to continue my 2022 trend of living eons outside my comfort zone, here is the painting I worked on.
I don’t think the colors and textures translate well in a photo but for anyone interested, it’s acrylic (mixed with molding paste) applied almost entirely within a small pallet knife and a putty knife.
It’s inspired by photos of butterflies and flowers I took last year 😊 Typically I paint very abstract designs (I might share photos of past works at a later date) but I decided to attempt something a little more lifelike.
Happy Monday (or Tuesday if you live in the future)
Aw Sandi this is beautiful! 🦋I’ll have to share with you the butterfly picture my mom painted. It’s hanging up in my entryway so it’s one of the first things you see when you come into my house. 😊 She is very shy about sharing her work too and I think I’m starting to relate because I get that exactly same level of shy when it comes to my writing.
🎨 I think sharing something you’ve created, like this beautiful painting of yours, is a way of opening up and letting people get a glimpse of you that’s usually quite hidden and it’s something you’ve created, which it makes it even more special, so being a little shy abou it is only natural.
I’m so happy to see you’ve worked up the courage to share this with us! It’s gorgeous!! There’s a Michigan artist I follow, her handle is “Copper Corners”, if you’d ever like to check her out. She has a similar style of plaster painting, and her pops of color are 😯!
I just scrolled up to take another peek at this painting. It’s so cute! I especially love the wings and the flower, but the background with that texture is so cool too, ah! No pressure at all, but I’d love to see some of your other art sometime! ☺️
And to the #TTDT Fam, I've been logged out of Twitter with some weird warning about Twitter not being able to reach my mobile for 2FA when I try to login.
Greetings DeSo fam:
