Something to make you smile

By Tamara Laporte  |   in art journal  | Tags: art musings , art journal , tamara laporte , Willowing Arts  

News and Inspiration in September! ♥️

I had SO much fun creating this painting. He makes me smile every time I look at him! 😍😍😍  What do you think of this adorable baby panda? Doesn’t he just make you want to give him a giant squishy hug? 😊

 

 

As many of you already know, I have a deep passion for painting animals. Working with ‘animal medicine’ can be incredibly powerful and inspiring. I have a special affinity for creating art featuring innocent and youthful animals. This goes beyond their sheer cuteness; it also serves as a profound connection to moments from my childhood when I needed that beautiful unconditional kind of love, acceptance and joy that only baby animals could offer. Painting these creatures serves as a healing experience on multiple levels for me. It allows me to immerse myself in an energy free from the burdens of stress, pain, and the daily challenges of life.

Would you like to paint a badorable panda too? 🐼 ♥️ You can! With me, on the Life Book 2024 Taster Sessions. And yes: it is free.

Much love,
Tam ♥️

Mixed media artist, teacher and author. I don’t see all IG msgs. For enq pls email hello@willowing.org - Join A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales:

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! 😉
