I painted another owl!

I painted another owl!

Dear Creative Friend,

Well, I said I’d do a series of owls and lo! I painted another owl, however, he was not happy about it. Look at his grumpy face! 😆  ->

He was all like: “Excuse me, here I was all nicely non-existing and then you, annoying painter, decided to try and paint me! I was have a relaxi non-existent time and felt NOT in the mood for being RUDELY conjured into life, being painted in ridiculous confetti colours, what were you thinking …” Needless to say; I wrestled with this owl but in the end, we had a good old chat and became friends! 😆😅😬
I even made a video about it for my youtube channel! What?
2 Videos in 2 weeks? That’s kind of unheard of in Tamland!
I’m so proud of myself.
Come listen to me warble/ twitter about how art imitates life and how life imitates art and that sometimes characters you create are telling you hilarious or challenging things and sometimes your struggles on the canvas reflect back the struggles in your life. And sometimes you discover that the grumpy character you created is actually YOU in real life, just disguised, as a colourful, grumpy, confetti owl! As they say: humans are just God in Drag. In my case; this grumpy owl is just me in confetti feathers. 😉  It’s all very fun with a cuppa, too. ♥️♥️♥️

Spent time painting this very sweet and soothing barn owl this evening. Even though I`ve been making art for years and know the calming effect creating art has on my nervous system; I continue to be amazed by how stress relieving it can be to just sit with paints and let the feelings flow. 😍

The Cozy Fest Alert! 🍁☕️Hello friends! As the weather here in the Northern hemisphere turns to dark, cold and COZY, I’m excited to let you know of a new creative bundle I’ve joined this year: The Cozy Fest!

It’s a space to explore, create, and reconnect with what brings you joy.
What I love about this bundle is that you are introduced to a variety of creative disciplines: from art making to sewing & basket making to photography, mosaics and wreath making, it has a little of everything!

And of course, I’m including a class of mine too!

Check out some of the fun projects that are included (see images).

And the class I’m including is of the sweet kitten sitting by the moonlight (called Guiding Light), it gives off such a sweet cozy vibe for me, I thought it fitted this bundle perfectly! meow! This is a full online class, showing you how to draw and then paint this luminous painting.
