Ok, tried to make a super sweet, magically enchanted little fairytale castle with a super cute and friendly little dragon `watching over it` (he`s sleepy here, but when you wake him he`ll produce a small but fierce little `roar` that scares off the crows!) 😉. I think I managed it! I went through a few frustrations with it though, but now I really love this painting. 😊 ps. I used some gouache in here and I think as mixed media artists we should use this medium more!! It has some really interesting properties! I think I`ll be exploring this medium more in the new year. 😊

Ps. We will painting this on A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales of course!

🎨✨ Magic of Art with Me – SNEAK PEEK!✨🎨

One of the greatest joys of my life is teaching art that goes beyond the canvas—art that helps you navigate life’s ups and downs, deepen your connection with yourself, and infuse every brushstroke with meaning.

In A Year of Magic and Fairy Tales, I’m so excited to share how art can become a source of transformation. Together, we’ll create pieces that are not only beautiful but deeply personal and healing. Your artwork can be a compassionate friend, a kind mirror, and a window to your higher self.💛

Art has an extraordinary way of whispering what you might need, reflecting your inner world, and encouraging you to show yourself more kindness. It’s truly magical—a space where creativity, healing, and wonder come together—and I absolutely LOVE sharing this journey with you!

✨ Here’s a sneak peek at some of the first lessons for A Year of Magic and Fairy Tales!✨

In these classes, I’ll guide you step-by-step to explore magical stories in ways that are joyful and deeply personal. It’s all about captivating your canvas and your soul.

Where is the lie? 😆

How are you today friends? Here it’s raining and raining and raining so much that there are floods in the little village I live near! I’m in full on hunkering down mode with warm clothes and blankets while prepping my sessions for A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales. 🧚✨🦄 It’s always so interesting to me to see the prototype next to the lesson version. I never used quite the same colours/ materials and it provides unexpected interesting twists! This is called ‘Wish Upon A Star’ and we plant the seeds for our wishes/ hopes/ intentions for the year in the ground she stands on. 😊 How are you? Sending love. ♥️♥️♥️

I’m so excited to share this new magical character with you! Here is my take on the Fairy Godmother archetype. She feels like a wise, starry grandmother who carries whole galaxies of kindness in her eyes. ✨

I realised I haven’t painted many older faces before, I didn`t always feel good at them and so creating her was a bit of a challenge and it also felt surprisingly moving. There can be so much beauty in the softness of older faces; the lines, the life lived. I wanted her to feel powerful, warm, and full of that gentle, cosmic “you’re safe with me, darling” energy. Like so many of our own beautiful grandmas made us feel.

It made me think about how rarely we see older women portrayed as magical, radiant, enchanting … and how deeply needed that is (Hello society erasing older women!). So here she is in all her twinkly glory. 🌙💫 How did I do? 😊

She’ll be part of our big creative journey in A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales, and I can’t wait to guide you through painting her step by step.

ps. Blues/ Lavenders/ Deep Purples seem to be my colour obsessions right now! 😉

Where is the lie? 😉 🎨🧀 🧁 💕

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. 😍

When You Wish Upon a Star. ✨

Wrote and painted this 3 years ago. Sharing it again as I think it`s so powerful:

"Blink"

It’s over in a blink, she said.
“Swallows stop flying,
if you’re not careful,
if you’re not brave,
if you’re not wispy and grand and dramatic and full of shadow and let it all leak out, like liquid gold.”

Notice.
Every single minute.
Every single fraction of the astounding glory of the moment. Here. Now.

And don’t pretend you can’t hear those angels sing. Like bells, trills, high c’s, harmonies hummed like the sweetest honey.
Every breath is a song. Every tick tock an ocean of meaning, an orchestra of alive vibrancy wanting its way with you, soulfully.

Yes.

You cannot refuse this offer. No is not an option. Jump in with open arms. Swim, fly, cry, run, weep, scream and sing. Let it all happen. Take it all in, before the mighty blink, blinks.

Posting this one again now that I`ve properly scanned it! --> I’ve been playing with chiaroscuro lately — that dramatic dance between light and dark you see in old black-and-white portraits. Never painted just in black and white before (well, a little indigo crept in 👀). I love how moody it feels!

For my next Year of Light lesson we are exploring `chiaroscuro` (which is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition). I`ve always loved the black and white photos of people like Marlene Ditriech and wanted to try achieve that type of effect in a painting! I don`t think I`ve EVER painted just in black and white before, but really loved doing it! (Well, I say black and white, but this also contains indigo blue and paynes gray). 😊 Really pleased with it, it has such a `vibe` (as my teen kids would say haha). ♥️♥️♥️

I love it when I can create life enriching creative content that makes people happy. Makes all the stress worth it! ♥️♥️♥️ You can still join us! https://bit.ly/AYOMTastersTam (or link in bio/ linktree/ stories). xoxo
