I'm a poet and I didn't know it...

More Paint Mojo fun... this time without the paint.

To be totally honest poetry is something I have never warmed to... just not my thing at all really. I remember in high school telling the teacher it was "an idiotic waste of perfectly good words". But in the spirit of trying something new and learning and trusting my mentors I decided to give this inspiration finding exercise my all.

I won't tell you the details of Tracy's amazing techniques, you'll have to do the course for that. But I will share with you a few of my poems. I did four because the process was just so much fun and I amazed myself with each one... it was a little addictive actually. Plus I don't expect I'll ever do it again I let myself totally enjoy it. Here's my faves....

I BELONG
She is calm and peaceful
Her vivid green eyes speak her truth
Her hands create her choices
Fresh strawberries or bright pink polka dots?
A world of possibilities open up
She floats on a lullaby through the night
And in the morning speaks the words
I belong
SUCCESS... OWN IT!
The measure of your success
Yellow zigzags and pink buttons
Brush strokes of beauty
Chocolate coated strawberries should satisfy
A tiny plant hanging in a bubble
With seeing eyes, this spot we stand on is our paradise
I am the star of my life
I thought so once but now I know it
Take your work to the world

So there we are... cool hey? 
What else can I say?
Oh paint brush don't dismay.
Tomorrow is another day
I promise to put my pen away :)

Oh dear... it must be late. 

Good night. 
Don't let the bed bugs bite :)

When the teacher is ready....

You know that saying.. "When the student is ready the teacher will appear"? Well all I can say is I must be really ready because so many amazing wonderful teachers are showing up in my life and I am lapping up every ounce of their artistic and life wisdom and knowledge... like a paint soaked sponge :) And I'm love love loving it!!!

Again the universe has placed in my lap just what I need at just the right time. This time in the beautiful artistic shape of the lovely Tracy Verdugo. As I said in my last post I have recently begun her Paint Mojo on-line course. Here is a taste of her loveliness, can you believe that's her singing too...
And this is what I've done in the course so far.
Some thumb nail sketches to gather inspiration...
A scratch foam print...
And a mono print...

Soooo much fun... can't wait to experiment more with these mediums. Or find out what Tracy has up her sleeve for us next.

Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful sunshine. I I spotted this today... trees are so awesome, even after their death.

I can do this!

I learnt soooo much from Flora Bowley's Bloom True Boot Camp (see previous months posts). So many tips and techniques and a lot about myself. The main thing I got from it though was a wonderful realisation and belief that I can do this. I can cram. I can find/make time. I can (and indeed should) prioritise my artistic ambitions. I am worth it. 

I have also just finished Kelly Rae Robert's Hello Soul Hello Mixed Media Mantras course. WOW! 

This was honestly the most amazing learning experiences I've ever been a part of. Such a beautiful mixture of gently delving in to our hearts and souls to unearth the areas that most need tending, finding the positive then weaving it into our art and hearts with fun artful techniques to create the most beautifully meaningful artworks. Just so so awesome! 

These are the three paintings I completed from the course.... can't wait to embrace what I've learnt and unleash it into my art and my life... let go, and see what happens! 

Look Out :)

I will be listing these in my Shop for sale soon or Contact me if you'd like to purchase.

But I want to learn more. Learn whatever it takes. Keep going. So I'm now throwing myself into another on-line course called Paint Mojo by another of my very fave artist's Tracy Verdugo. 
Soooo excited... I'll keep you posted :)
Prob should go do some chores now. Not a lot of that been happening lately which, considering my frustrated post back in December, is a huuuuge leap forward for me and something I'm actually very proud of :) I have a life of my own now and with practice I've learnt to re-prioritise, put things off that get in the way of my needs. I've found that the urgent must do stuff gets done and everything else gets done eventually, after I do the things that matter to me? Only took me 50 years to figure that out!

Hope you're putting your needs first too.

If the shelves are dusty and the pots don’t shine,
it’s because I have better things to do with my time.
